SportsBeat KC: The Royals’ offseason begins with minor-league activity, and questions
The Royals finished with their best winning percentage since 2017 and head into the offseason with optimism—and plenty of questions.
Beat writer Lynn Worthy joins SportsBeat KC host Blair Kerkhoff on this episode of The Star’s daily sports podcast to discuss the big issues for the Royals, who are currently conducting minor-league training in Kansas City and Arizona.
Among the questions: Who replaces retiring Alex Gordon in left field? Can Salvador Perez and Adalberto Mondesi take their hot bats into next season? Which free agents might the Royals target? How can they keep their bullpen rolling?
