Following their ALDS exit against the New York Yankees, the Kansas City Royals are focused on improving for the 2025 season. Their starting rotation excelled in 2024, but the bullpen needs reinforcement.

Blake Treinen, currently with the Los Angeles Dodgers, is a potential target as he becomes a free agent. With a solid postseason performance and a projected affordable contract, he could enhance the Royals' late-game strategy, especially given his Kansas roots.
