KC Royals: Battle for backup outfield spot heating up

The KC Royals have plenty of positional battles taking place going into the 2020 season, and plenty of players fighting for those spots. While there are some positions like first base and bullpen roles that are wide open, it’s assumed the outfield is fairly set.

With Alex Gordon returning for another season, talks of Whit Merrifield and Hunter Dozier moving to center and right, and Jorge Soler finding some time in the outfield, there isn’t much room for anyone else to find their way in.

There will, however, likely be a backup on the bench.
