O’Hearn hit .281/.366/.437 with 17 home runs, 63 RBI, 2.4 Wins Above Replacement and an .803 OPS. He was traded from the Baltimore Orioles to the San Diego Padres at the deadline this past summer.
Even after an All-Star campaign, he shouldn’t be overly expensive for the Royals, and they could potentially sign him to a deal with opt-out clauses. He can serve as a regular designated hitter, but can also play a little outfield as well. That was where the Royals truly lacked production in 2025.
He brings power from the left side of the plate and is a consistent hitter, and he could significantly bolster the Royals’ lineup if he indeed returns. This could potentially even put the Royals back in contention for at least a Wild Card spot in 2026.
