Royal Contenders

--Kansas City, MO-- Wow. Just wow. Those are the words of many longtime Royals fans who witnessed the Royals Playoff Run in 2014. The Kansas City Royals come into 2015 with something that they have not in 29 years..... Expectations. After being stranded 90 feet away from a World Title, Kansas City has a chip on their shoulder.
The Royals come into Spring Training with many Roster questions surrounding Last years losses.

KEY DEPARTURES
1. Billy Butler, DH (Free Agency, Oak)
-Butler was a staple and fan favorite in Kansas City's Lineup since 2007, however proving inconsistent in 2014. The Club chose not to renew his contract in the 2014 Offseason.
2. Norichika Aoki, OF (Free Agency, SF)
-Norichika Aoki came to the Kansas City Royals in 2014 in a trade from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for Reliever Will Smith. Aoki proved a consistent bat and reliable outfielder near the top of the order. Aoki Chose to sign with the San Francisco Giants on January 19th, 2015.
KEY ADDITIONS
1. Chris Young, P (Free Agency)
-The 2014 Comeback Player of the Year with the Seattle Mariners (12-9, 3.65 ERA), Young looks to be either a strong end of the Rotation guy or Reliable Long Relief Man. Young addresses Spot Starting Questions that the Royals often had issues with last season.
2. Kendrys Morales, DH (Free Agency)
-Morales, who many know as the man who broke his leg celebrating a Walk off Home run a few years ago signed with the Royals in December as the most reasonable response to the departure of Billy Butler, Morales provides decent power but has not shown such since 2013, when he blasted 23 for Seattle.
3. Alex Rios, OF (Free Agency)

The Royals will begin Spring Training on March 4th, 2015 in Surprise Arizona.
Kansas City is yet to reveal the full list of Spring Training Invitees.
