The Kansas City Royals are looking for offense after scoring just 651 runs<\/a> during the 2025 regular season and missing the playoffs as a result. The Royals have different avenues they can use to find a bat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They are widely expected to trade a pitcher to land an impact bat, but that\u2019s not the only way they can accomplish their goals. Free agency also presents an opportunity.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Texas Rangers non-tendered outfielder and 2023 ALCS MVP Adolis Garcia, making him a free agent. The Royals kept Jonathan India for one more year, but still need an outfield bat, and Garcia might make sense for them.<\/p>\n

Rangers 2x All-Star Could Make Sense For Royals<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Garcia had a rough season in 2025 with Texas. He hit just .227\/.271\/.394 with a .665 OPS. However, he still showed off his power, hitting 19 home runs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Because of his struggles, he likely won\u2019t be in line for a multi-year contract. In that case, the Royals would make sense for him. He could be put in left field and fill the Royals outfield needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old also is a former Gold Glove winner, so he can help on defense too. But in a small market such as Kansas City, he could use the 2026 season to rebuild his value while also giving the Royals just what they need on the offensive side.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kansas City could potentially give him a one-year deal with incentives and sign him at a discounted rate for 2026. It could be a perfect low-risk, high-reward type move for a small-market club looking to improve its offense this offseason.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Garcia\u2019s best season was 2023, when he hit 39 home runs. However, he hasn\u2019t quite been the same since then. But a fresh start in Kansas City could help rejuvenate his bat and give him a chance to bounce back after a difficult 2025 season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Even after a down year, Garcia should have plenty of suitors<\/a>, but the Royals would certainly make sense as they try to make some improvements for next season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll be an interesting team to watch this offseason as they look for a bat, but Garcia could be just what they\u2019re looking for if they don\u2019t want to break the bank on a high-dollar free agent.<\/p>\n
