After news broke on Wednesday night that the Royals would be missing out on a reunion with Mike Yastrzemski, the need to pivot and head back to the drawing board was imminent.
In the wake of Yaz's move to Atlanta, it appears the Royals have their sights set on another veteran name, who would also represent quite the pivot.
According to a Thursday morning report from Katie Woo and Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, the Royals appear to have interest in Dodgers corner outfielder Teoscar Hernández.
"The Dodgers continue to “kick the tires” on trading Teoscar Hernández, a league source said, though general manager Brandon Gomes said Monday that trading the right fielder still 'doesn't seem likely'," Woo and Ardaya wrote.
