Post-draft talent pool should play to KC Royals’ advantage

When it comes to free agency in sports, oftentimes it’s hard for struggling teams to compete for premier talent. This time around, though, the KC Royals should be at or near the top of every undrafted free agent’s list next week.

Royals General Manager Dayton Moore’s draft history isn’t great. There’s no sugarcoating it. While he’s had a handful of great picks, many others have failed to live up to the hype surrounding them when selected. Ahead of the 2020 MLB Draft, Moore will have just five chances to take players before the post-draft pool becomes available.
