The recent wave of non-tendered free agents has opened up a treasure trove of possibilities for teams like the Kansas City Royals. With 62 players hitting the market, the Royals have a unique opportunity to bolster their roster without giving up any prospects. But which of these players could truly make a difference for the Royals?

Take Dylan Carlson, for instance. Once a promising Rookie of the Year candidate, he’s seen a decline that raises questions about his potential. Is he a reclamation project worth pursuing, or is he simply a cautionary tale of what happens when a player can't adapt?

Then there's Austin Hays, who was an All-Star just a year ago but has struggled since. Can he rediscover his form in Kansas City, or is he another example of a player who peaked too soon?

And what about the pitchers? Kyle Finnegan, an All-Star closer, is now available. Could he be the missing piece in the Royals' bullpen, or is his non-tender a sign of deeper issues?

Let’s not forget about the utility players like Josh Rojas and Mike Tauchman. Could they provide the versatility the Royals need, or are they just filling space on the roster?

As we dive into the offseason, what bold predictions do you have for the Royals' approach to these non-tendered players? Which player do you think would be the best fit, and why? Are there any hidden gems among the non-tendered that you believe could turn their careers around in Kansas City?

Let’s hear your thoughts!
