The Kansas City Royals know they need to add some offense to the roster to be contenders in 2026. Mike Yastrzemski is one name that immediately comes to mind, both because he had such a great half-season with KC and because he's expected to be relatively cheap.
However, he might not be as inexpensive as previously thought.
The Athletic released its list of top free agents for this winter earlier this week, and Yastrzemski is right in the middle of the 50-person pack, sitting ast the 25th overall free agent.
Should MLB front offices agree with the publication on who will be most attractive this offseason, the Royals may very well have a fight on their hands.
