As we gear up for the 2025 season, the Kansas City Royals are in the thick of Spring Training, and the competition for roster spots is heating up. With Opening Day just around the corner, it's the perfect time to dive into who’s trending up and who’s trending down.

Jac Caglianone is making waves with a staggering .545 batting average and three home runs. Could he be the spark the Royals need this season? If he keeps this up, is there a chance he could break into the big leagues sooner than expected?

On the flip side, Carlos Hernández is struggling with a 7.71 ERA. As a fan, it’s tough to watch someone you root for falter. What do you think the Royals should do with him? Is it time to consider a change in scenery, or can he turn it around in the next couple of weeks?

And what about MJ Melendez? After a rocky start, he seems to be finding his groove with a new batting stance. Is this the turning point for him, or is it too early to tell?

Let’s not forget about the outfield situation. With players like Drew Waters and Nelson Velázquez underperforming, who do you think should step up to claim a spot?

Bold prediction: If Caglianone continues this hot streak, he could be a key player for the Royals this season. But will the pressure of the big leagues be too much for him?

I want to hear your thoughts! Who has impressed you the most this Spring Training? Who do you think is on the chopping block? Let’s discuss!
