Their November re-signing of Jonathan India didn't resolve the Kansas City Royals' troubling second base situation. India, obtained from Cincinnati last winter via the Brady Singer trade, will lug into spring camp the baggage of his disappointing 2025 season, and there are no guarantees he'll improve in 2026. That compounds the second base puzzle that Michael Massey's injury history helps create.
Imagine, though, the Royals landing a second baseman who hits for power, drives in runs, steals a lot of bases, and plays good defense. A player, in other words, who could stabilize the club's shaky keystone outlook.
