The KC Royals will need to make some room on the active roster, which may mean the end of a few player’s time in Kansas City.
In the 2011 draft, the KC Royals took a chance on a kid from just down the road in Garnder, Kansas. Bubba Starling, drafted out of Gardner-Edgerton High School was set to be a home-grown hero. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out that way.
Jump to 2020, and other than a few decent seasons at the plate during his more recent minor league years, the rest of his career, including his short time in the majors, has been underwhelming.
