Journeyman former Royals reliever finds himself back on the free agent market

Over the course of a long season, a team like the Kansas City Royals will have a lot of trial and error when it comes to who makes its roster. Despite the typical churn, one has to hope that KC learned its lesson when it comes to Trevor Richards and that they stay away from the newly minted free agent in 2026.

Earlier this week, on Tuesday to be precise, the veteran bullpen hand officially elected to test free agency this winter.

Richards was a very brief member of the 2025 Royals bullpen.
