Non-tenders bring Royals 2020 roster both in and out of focus

After Monday’s non-tender deadline when the Royals chose not to offer contracts to Humberto Arteaga, Cheslor Cuthbert, Jesse Hahn and Erick Mejia, it brought some aspects of the 2020 roster into better focus and made some much less clear. The move to cut ties with Cuthbert was expected and even obvious. The move for Hahn was kind of a coin flip, but the fact that they cut loose Mejia and Arteaga is a little more surprising given the general idea about the 2020 roster and the fact that both were added to the 40-man just months ago during the 2019 season.
