Just who will be available for the Kansas City Royals to add to the roster through free agency this winter became a lot clearer after two potential targets accepted qualifying offers from their current teams.
Still, there are plenty of questions surrounding just what next year's roster will look like and one of the biggest questions surrounds starting pitcher Kris Bubic.
Despite Bubic being one of the better pitchers in the league last season after reaching his first career All-Star Game and crafting a sub-3.00 ERA campaign, there's been a lot of smoke around rumors that he's the Royals' top trade piece.
