The Kansas City Royals were let down by their offense this season and ultimately missed the postseason, going 82-80 and finishing in third place in the American League Central.
They got a little bit of a boost from outfielder Mike Yastrzemski after he was acquired at the trade deadline, however. If the Royals can’t land a big bat via trade, they could always look to re-sign the free agent veteran, and Mark Feinsand of MLB.com believes doing so would be a good idea.
“Yastrzemski was idling along in San Francisco through the first four months, hitting eight home runs with 28 RBIs and a .685 OPS in 96 games, but the Royals made a Trade Deadline deal for the 34-year-old. The move seemed to breathe new life into Yastrzemski, who hit nine homers with 18 RBIs and an .839 OPS in 50 games with Kansas City, potentially giving both sides a reason to reunite in 2026,” Feinsand wrote.
