The Kansas City Royals are actively seeking to bolster their offense after recent trades, including acquiring Jonathan India and Joey Wiemer. Despite these additions, they still need to provide support for Bobby Witt Jr. as they aim for a postseason return by 2025.

Gleyber Torres, a former New York Yankees second baseman and two-time All-Star, is among the top free agents available. His strong second half of the season, including a solid playoff performance, has kept him on the Royals' radar, although they may now prioritize a platoon option.
