Writer Caleb Moody argues that while signing free-agent outfielder Randy Arozarena would improve the Kansas City Royals' offense, it should not supersede fixing their pitching staff. Bleacher Report recently proposed that the Royals target Arozarena to bolster an inconsistent lineup featuring Bobby Witt Jr., Jac Caglianone, and Carter Jensen.

However, Moody contends that pitching remains the Royals' most critical issue heading into 2027 following a 93-loss season. With Cole Ragans and several other arms recovering from surgeries, Moody suggests the franchise prioritize more affordable pitching options rather than committing major financial resources to Arozarena.
