They still want another lefty reliever. I\u2019d take a look at Justin Wilson. He had a 27.5 percent strikeout in 2025 with Boston and would like very nice in the middle of the bullpen. He made $1 million in 2023, $1.5 million in 2024 and $2.25 million in 2025. Maybe he\u2019s in line for a raise after the season he had, but this late, I\u2019d bet you can probably get him for $4 million or so. I wouldn\u2019t mind them taking a chance on a hard-thrower from either side, but someone like Michael Kopech would be interesting to me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">I still think they could add Austin Hays or Harrison Bader if the price is right on either of them. I still think they could make some sort of trade, though I do agree with the people who know more than me that a big splash is probably out at this point. But the point here is that the Royals have a history of doing something for their big league club this late in the spring, so don\u2019t discount any moves happening over the next two or three weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So who can they add?
