In an offseason fueled on upgrading this team after experiencing the painful reality of reverting back to their usual "Octoberless" ways in 2025, three things are currently true about the Kansas City Royals:
One, their current second base duo of Jonathan India and Michael Massey is not giving them nearly enough production.
Two, they're in dire need of corner outfield help after their rotating cast of veterans and rookies failed to come close to meeting expectations in 2025.
Three, they have more starting pitchers than places in the starting rotation.
Obviously J.J. Picollo and the Royals front office will need to address all of these things at somepoint this winter.
