The free agency period has yet to begin, but the Royals may already be eyeing one potential addition. The Hiroshima Carp of the NPB in Japan are taking preliminary steps to post outfielder Seiya Suzuki, and the Royals are one of the teams said to be interested according to Yahoo! News.
Suzuki is younger than most players that make the jump from Japan at just 27 years old, and he is one of the biggest power hitters in the league. The right-handed hitter batted .319/.436/.644 with 38 home runs and 87 walks in 131 games for the Carp this year and is described as a five-tool player and one of the best players in Japan the last few years.
