Bobby Witt Jr. is a standout player for the Kansas City Royals, but his individual performance isn't enough to secure a World Series title. In 2024, the Royals faced a swift exit from the postseason, largely due to a lackluster bottom lineup that failed to support their star.

With Witt often coming to bat without runners on base, the Royals are exploring trade options for a leadoff hitter. The Cincinnati Reds may be a viable trade partner, with Jonathan India and Spencer Steer identified as potential targets to bolster the lineup.
