Kansas City Royals news: The Royals seek a right-handed hitting outfielder
And Royals game times are set.
Kansas City Royals general manager J.J. Picollo has expressed interest in acquiring a right-handed-hitting outfielder to balance the team's lineup. Last year, the Royals struggled against left-handed pitching and finished near the bottom of their league in that category. Currently, the outfield consists mainly of left-handed hitters, making a right-handed-hitting outfielder a valuable addition.
Lane Thomas, a right-handed-hitting outfielder, did contribute significantly during the season, leading the team in home runs from that position. However, pairing him with Bobby Witt Jr., another right-handed hitter, could further strengthen the team's hitting capabilities. While top free agency players Seiya Suzuki and Randy Arozarena may be out of reach due to their high salaries, other potential signings such as Minter, Soto, and Okert could provide the needed balance to the Royals' lineup.
