The Kansas City Royals are evaluating their options for second base in 2025, as the position was a weak spot last season. With Bobby Witt Jr. at shortstop, the team is looking for a reliable full-time starter to complement him.

Jorge Polanco, who struggled with the Seattle Mariners after a trade from the Minnesota Twins, may be a viable bounce-back candidate. Despite a disappointing 2024 season, Polanco's past performance and familiarity with the American League Central make him an intriguing option for the Royals.
