It only seems like lately the KC Royals have signed former stars to see if they can squeeze another few months of production from them.
Throughout their history, however, the KC Royals inked established players who are near the end of their career. Since this article focuses on players in their last season, it is obviously not a banner statistical year for them. Being able to see them perform with a KC jersey on is still a satisfying oddity.
In the Royals defense, many teams take a stab at an older player partly based on past performance, partly on hopes the change of scenery will rejuvenate them.
