The Kansas City Royals are actively seeking to enhance their lineup after a disappointing 2024 season. Despite acquiring Jonathan India to lead off for promising star Bobby Witt Jr., the Royals still lack offensive depth, particularly in the corner outfield positions, where MJ Melendez and Hunter Renfroe struggled significantly.

One potential solution for the Royals could be Jurickson Profar, an All-Star with the San Diego Padres. ESPN's David Schoenfield highlighted the Royals as a fitting destination for Profar in free agency, although his market value remains uncertain. With Profar turning 32 in February, a long-term deal carries risks, but his on-base skills could be invaluable for Kansas City.
