Jonathan India has been subpar for the Royals all season as he attempts to learn left field. Kyle Isbel, as usual, hasn't hit much. MJ Melendez was demoted to Triple-A for his ineptitude at the plate, and even Drew Waters has dropped off since his hot start after promotion.

5/09/25 | Royals Writer Criticizes Team For Not Improving Offense. The Kansas City Royals are red-hot, having won 15 of their last 17 games and overcoming a dreadful 8-14 start to 2025.

4/02/25 | Phillies-Royals Blockbuster Trade Idea Ships $3 Million Outfield Slugger To KC. The Kansas City Royals' biggest weakness is clear as day, and it hasn't changed since the start of last season: the outfield. New leadoff hitter Jonathan India is mixing in as the starting left fielder on occasion (a position he's never played at the big-league level), and that's the only meaningful change the Royals made to a position group that capped their potential at 86 wins in 2024. Unless MJ Melendez or Hunter Renfroe steps up and becomes an above-average hitter this season, the Royals will almost certainly be in the trade market for better offense from their outfield this summer. In a recent article, Athlon's Matthew Sullivan proposed a hypothetical trade that would land Phillies outfielder and fan-favorite Brandon Marsh in Kansas City, with a two-for-one swap involving Renfroe as the blueprint.
