While the Royals are still linked to potential trade targets Jarren Duran and Brendan Donovan, among others, the club filled significant needs in a strategic way. Still, there’s reason to expect the Royals will continue searching both offseason markets in the upcoming weeks.
As a reminder, the Royals signed closer Carlos Estévez just ahead of spring training last season. He went on to lead the majors in saves and made the All-Star team.
So moves could still be made. How the market shapes up might affect what the Royals do in the final weeks of the offseason.
“We’re happy with the offseason so far,” Picollo said. “I’ll even include moving up in the draft is something that we’re excited about.”
