Royals beat writer Lynn Worthy joined Star columnists Sam Mellinger and Vahe Gregorian around the hot stove to discuss the club’s early offseason moves and project what lies ahead for the organization, including such players as Whit Merrifield, Hunter Dozier and Alex Gordon, on SportsBeat KC, presented by Big O Tires.
