Royals could use Arizona Fall League, Rule 5 draft to solve biggest bullpen issue

The Kansas City Royals have multiple areas they could stand to upgrade this offseason and certain players in particular they could stand to upgrade from.

One of the most common areas most teams enter an offseason looking to upgrade is the bullpen, given how volatile MLB relief pitching can be year-over-year. The Royals are in fact part of "most teams" here and one name in particular that's been an issue for them in the bullpen is Sam Long.

Obviously, they'll likely explore the free agent or trade markets to make relief improvements, but they could also get creative to find a Sam Long upgrade.
