Faced with a lackluster outfield, J.J. Picollo and the Kansas City Royals find themselves in the same spot that they were in last offseason.
Matthew Swigonski writes that the Kansas City Royals enter the annual GM Meetings in Las Vegas confronting familiar roster weaknesses. General manager J.J. Picollo previously highlighted the outfield as an issue ahead of the 2025 meetings, but the team's outfield once again struggled offensively throughout the 2026 season outside of Jac Caglianone.
Swigonski argues that acquiring Isaac Collins last December failed to fix the outfield offense after Collins posted a .641 OPS. The writer contends Picollo must avoid half-measures, suggesting Kansas City should pursue a major trade or rely on young talent like Carson Roccaforte to avoid another disappointing campaign.
