For weeks now, the need that seems to be at the top of the Kansas City Royals' winter shopping list is the outfield, after a 2025 season where they looked largely without answers at the plate.
And now, in the early days of the offseason, the Royals have already got the ball rolling in their outfield search by pulling off a November trade for a somewhat familiar name.
In the 33rd round of the 2016 MLB Draft, the Kansas City Royals drafted a Missouri native in Kameron Misner. However, instead of signing with the Royals, Misner honored his collegiate commitment to Missouri, which resulted in him getting drafted in the first-round three years later by the Miami Marlins.
