We’re one week away from Sept. 1, when big league teams can expand their active rosters. And with Major League Baseball changing its rules, clubs can no longer enlarge those rosters to 40 players—now, only two players may be added to current 26-man rosters. Fans, of course, are speculating who the KC Royals might call up.
Most Kansas City fans may be casting their eyes on Bobby Witt Jr. and Nick Pratto, the No.1 and No. 4 KC prospects per MLB Pipeline. To many, picking them should be a no-brainer.
