The Kansas City Royals, after a promising postseason appearance last year, are grappling with offensive struggles, particularly in their outfield, which has been the worst in MLB with a -1.1 fWAR through April.

The current trio of Drew Waters, Kyle Isbel, and Hunter Renfroe has combined for a -0.6 fWAR, raising concerns over the lineup's effectiveness. With the team rumored to be interested in Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins, who boasts a 173 wRC+ and leads the Orioles despite their struggles, a trade could provide the boost the Royals desperately need.

Renfroe, who was expected to excel after signing with Kansas City, has underperformed, showcasing the need for the Royals to address their outfield situation. As the Royals have recently found success, winning nine of their last ten games, they still rank last in home runs, indicating a pressing need for power hitters.
