KC Royals: Why Trading For Nick Markakis Makes Sense
The KC Royals need an offensive boost. Trading for Atlanta Braves right fielder Nick Markakis makes the the most sense.
The Kansas City Royals won the 2015 World Series title sporting an offense that didn’t have a hole. Adding second baseman Ben Zobrist at the deadline, and right fielder Alex Rios‘ second-half improvement gave the KC Royals a lineup that could hurt opponents no. 1 through no. 9.
Coming into the 2016 season, Kansas City Royals general manager Dayton Moore hoped that second baseman Omar Infante‘s production would rebound after off-season elbow surgery and that fourth outfielder Jarrod Dyson could hold down a full-time job.
