The Kansas City Royals made a significant turnaround in 2024, finishing with an 86-win season and clinching the second American League Wild Card spot. However, their postseason ended in the ALDS against the New York Yankees.

This offseason, the Royals re-signed Michael Wacha and traded for Jonathan India, but they remain quiet in the market. They are considering adding bench depth, with Enrique Hernandez being a potential target due to his postseason experience and versatility.
