The Kansas City Royals are gearing up for another potential postseason push after they surged into October baseball in 2024, but missed the cut last year. This offseason, the Royals have gotten healthy and opted to let their young players continue developing rather than spending big for a proven big league bat.
This has the Royals gearing up for a season with their top two pitchers, Cole Ragans and Kris Bubic, healthy again while their lineup is filled with improving stars. Bobby Witt Jr. is one of the best players in the league right now and he’s surrounded by stars in the infield. The Royals have Maikel Garcia next to him at third base, coming off a career year. They also have slugger Vinnie Pasquantino at first base.
And they’re still adding to the roster.
