The acquisition of Arizona Diamondbacks Outfielder Randal Grichuk was prudent for the Kansas City Royals. On Saturday evening, FanSided's MLB insider Robert Murray first broke the news that Grichuk, 33, would be the Royals' new outfielder in exchange for reliever Andrew Hoffman.
Grichuk will be a welcome addition to the Royals' outfield, which has struggled to produce offense consistently. He’s not a difference maker; he’s a league-average bat with some pop, but league-average is a breath of fresh air for this group.
The Royals have had one of the league's worst outfields this season, but it’s been horrifying at the corners.
