Every Major League Baseball team takes swings in the offseason, and many of them are destined not to pay major dividends.

Last winter, the Kansas City Royals took a minor-league flier on Jordan Groshans, a well-traveled infield prospect who was once the Toronto Blue Jays’ first-round pick in 2018. But after a mere 67 games in the organization, most of which came in Double-A, Groshans re-entered free agency in November.
