The Kansas City Royals rebounded impressively in 2024, finishing with an 86-win season and securing a Wild Card spot after a dismal 2023. However, the team is looking to bolster its pitching staff, particularly the bullpen.

One potential target is Ross Stripling, a right-hander who had a challenging season with the Oakland Athletics. Despite his low walk rate, Stripling's performance has been inconsistent, raising questions about his reliability. If he can regain his form, he might be a valuable addition as a swingman.
