While a majority of this year's offseason matters will have to wait until the conclusion of the 2025 MLB Playoffs, the planning has already begun for teams like the Kansas City Royals who missed out on October baseball.
On top of preliminary planning, what's also got underway league-wide is the end-of-season award nominations and despite following a disappointing season, the Royals could be very well represented.
On Monday, the nominees for the prestigious Hank Aaron Award were revealed, an award that's meant to determine who the best overall offensive player was in each respective league.
