The Kansas City Royals have outfield candidates. Plenty of them. Drew Waters became the latest to join the group, and his major debut went nicely. He drew a bases loaded walk Monday to put the Royals ahead in a victory over the Chicago White Sox.

But how will the outfield shape up for next season? That’s the topic on today’s SportsBeat KC podcast with beat writer Lynn Worthy and columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian. The rest of the season appears dedicated to getting ready for 2023, and that’s especially true in the outfield.

Waters, Michael A. Taylor, Kyle Isbel, MJ Melendez, Hunter Dozier, Nick Pratto, Brent Rooker, Edward Olivares. You can you keep four, five at most Who you got?
