Once we get through the SB, I'll throw my own thoughts up on prospects and where the Royals stand.
Witt is going to be my #1 guy. Lacy and Lynch and Pena will follow. Such a weird year to look at prospects. So much of what we normally can reference was all behind closed doors last season. |
Contact-hitting extraordinaire. Porous walk rate though, and a lot of low-quality contact, but a true asset against southpaws.

Well, there’s that LH OF bat the Royals been wanting. Good buy low candidate on a down year, still only 26. Also getting money to cover his contract. Hopefully we didn’t give up too much prospect capital, but I like the move on the surface.
That lineup is looking pretty strong for 2021. |
That deal has Khalil Lee going to the Mets and Franchy Cordero to Boston.
|
Lee is a great athlete but he does have some serious hit tool questions.

Win now move
