Who exactly the Kansas City Royals would bring in to address their desperate need for outfield reinfrocements has been the dominant talking point amongst fans and pundits to start the offseason.
And when Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported ahead of the Winter Meetings that the Royals were in search of a pair of outfielders, "one through free agency and the other through trade", it only fueled the curiosity of the Royals faithful of what exactly J.J. Picollo and Co. had up their sleeves.
Well, the day after the league's brains trusts said their goodbyes and left Orlando, the Royals have managed to at least find a solution to half of that equation as it was announced Thursday evening they'd reportedly signed veteran free agent Lane Thomas to a contract, according to Will Sammon of The Athletic.
