When even is the last time we traded with these guys lol. I like Donovan but not for one of our starters
*Brendan Donovan posts his lowest pitches per PA mark in 2025*
*Royals start favoriting all his instagram posts*
(Donovan saw 3.72 pitches per PA last year, down from his career mark of 3.88, a mark he only topped once in four seasons)
Feels like there are a good number of intriguing infield options via trade. Bobby/Garcia/Pasquatch starting opening day without a new infield mate would be disappointing. Hoping if we can snag infield via trade that we can use FA money on a decent outfielder with some power.
Throw in a prospect or two
That .361 career OBP would look pretty nice in this lineup, I’m not gonna lie.
One guy isn’t gonna fix this roster, unless we got Aaron Judge or something, but this looks like the kind of bat that could lead off in front of Bobby. Get another guy to deepen the middle of the order and baby I think we’ve got a stew going.
