Swing Changes and Top Prospects

M.J. Melendez has a new swing. Will it be the off-season addition the Royals need?

Obviously, this newsletter probably isn’t the most pressing thing going on today. I get that. It’s the AFC Championship game. I love the Chiefs as much as the next Kansas Citian so I get it.

But we’re just three weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting, and the Royals still don’t have their “middle-of-the-order bat,” and anyone who could plausibly be thought of as that is now gone from free agency.

Will the Royals pull off a trade in the next three weeks? Or, is there another way to pick up that offensive production?
