When Justin Grimm signed with the Kansas City Royals, the original plan seemed clear. Similar to Jon Jay, the Royals signed Grimm to a cheap one-year deal in hopes to potentially trade him away in July.
However, not all plans come to fruition. After a very solid start to the season, Grimm fell onto some hard times.
Over his first five appearances this year he went 4.1 innings and had a 2.20 ERA. He had a 0.69 WHIP and opponents were hitting .143 against him. Unfortunately, the next five appearances were totally different.
