KC Royals Ranked as Fifth-Worst Free Agent Destination in MLB
The Kansas City Royals are expected to make some external additions this offseason.
The Royals are ranked 26th in Bleacher Report's list of the worst free agent destinations. The team is in a win first, spend later mode. They have a lot of money tied up in their current players and arbitration figures will soon creep into their 2023 payroll. Their recent moves at the non-tender deadline made it clear that they are not ready to go after a marquee name. The odds are already stacked against them due to their small-market nature and their recent track record in terms of success.
The KC Royals are ranked as the fifth-worst free agent destination in MLB. Their projected 2023 payroll is $76 million. The club's Opening Day payroll was $94.8 million in 2022.
