| 12/03/24 | Red Sox $48 Million Starter Linked To Royals As 'Realistic' Rotation Upgrade. It's been an active offseason for the Kansas City Royals already, but the work isn't yet done. First, the Royals re-signed Michael Wacha on a three-year contract to shore up their strong starting rotation. Then, they traded his rotation mate, Brady Singer, to the Cincinnati Reds to land a new leadoff hitter in second baseman Jonathan India. Trading Singer opened up a spot in the rotation, one which the Royals don't necessarily have a slam-dunk candidate to fill. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/royals/news/red-sox-48-mill... |
| 11/28/24 | Royals Potential Offseason Target Listed As 'Overpaid' Free Agent. The Kansas City Royals have been very busy this offseason, having already re-signed Michael Wacha to a three-year, $51 million contract and traded for Cincinnati Reds slugger Jonathan India. The Royals will want to build off of a successful 2024 campaign that saw them rise from 106 losses to 86 wins and secure the second American League Wild Card spot. Offense is an area that they could look to upgrade, even after the India trade. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/royals/news/royals-potentia... |
| 11/26/24 | Red Sox $40 Million Home Run Leader Predicted To Ditch Boston In Favor Of Royals. The Kansas City Royals have proven that they're still working hard to improve the roster this winter. The Royals locked in starting pitcher Michael Wacha to an extension, shoring up their rotation, then dealt from their starting pitching depth to land a new potential leadoff hitter in Jonathan India. No Royals outfielder topped 20 home runs in 2024, and it's not as though any of the regular starters were making up for that with remarkable on-base skills. Adding one more power bat behind Bobby Witt Jr. is paramount to the Royals having a more well-rounded offense, and the outfield is the most logical place to insert one.

| 11/18/24 | Could Royals Target Pair Of Rays Sluggers On Trading Block This Winter?. The Kansas City Royals won 86 games during the regular season and secured the second American League Wild Card spot. The team already took care of its starting rotation by re-signing Michael Wacha to a three-year, $51 million contract. Beyond Bobby Witt Jr., who is an AL MVP finalist, the offense lacks some firepower. Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report noted that Tampa Bay Rays sluggers Brandon Lowe and Yandy Diaz could be had via trade. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/royals/news/could-royals-ta... |

| 11/12/24 | Red Sox $45 Million Power Hitter Predicted To Ditch Boston In Favor Of Royals. There was once a time when the Boston Red Sox never had to worry about losing a prized free agent to an American League Central team, but that time may have passed. The Kansas City Royals appear to be leading the charge, having spent over $100 million in free-agent contracts last winter. This winter, the Royals look to be active again, already inking starting pitcher Michael Wacha to a three-year, $51 million extension. Perhaps their next move could be to pilfer a big bat from the Boston lineup. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/red-sox/boston-red-sox-news... |
| 11/10/24 | Royals Could Be Fit For Padres Standout Reliever In Free Agency. The Kansas City Royals put together a strong 2024 season, rising from 106 losses in 2023 and winning 86 to secure the second American League Wild Card spot. The starting rotation has mostly been addressed thanks to the signing of Michael Wacha to a three-year, $51 million contract. R.J.

The Kansas City Royals got straight to work this offseason and filled out the final spot in their starting rotation by re-signing right-hander Michael Wacha to a three-year, $51 million contract. A late-inning, high-leverage presence in their bullpen is something they are going to need if they want to remain competitive in 2025. R.J. Anderson listed veteran closer Kenley Jansen as an option for all contenders in need of bullpen help. Perhaps the Royals could take a chance.

Wacha was a key piece for the Cardinals for years but left the organization ahead of the 2020 campaign. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cardinals/st-louis-cardinal... |
