Sunday's 8-5 loss to Toronto left the Kansas City Royals with only six games to play before their season ends, and a baseball winter sure to be focused once again on improving their problematic offense begins. Especially in the outfield, where not a single Royal wielded a suitably productive bat, does the club need help.
Fortunately, Kansas City's well-stocked pitching inventory gives general manager J.J. Picollo the luxury, should he so choose, of setting his sights almost exclusively on bolstering an offense that had so much to do with the club missing the postseason.
One bat Picollo might consider belongs to a current Royal free-agent-to-be.
