Royals Rumblings - News for February 8, 2021 Share this story Royals Rumblings - News for February 8, 2021 Left-handed utility man Brad Miller (.895 OPS with the Cardinals in 2020) is still on the free-agent market, as is outfielder Matt Joyce (.351 OBP with the Marlins in ’20). Right fielder Nomar Mazara struggled last season, but he has shown power numbers in the past, including 20-home-run seasons from 2016-18. If Whit Merrifield moves to left field and the Royals are confident they can tap into the talent Mazara has showed before, he could be a good fit with Kansas City for ‘21.

Richards’s least-effective offering in 2020 was a two-seamer that’s hard to put a positive spin on. The erstwhile San Diego Padre threw 66 of them, and the ones that were put into play tended to get punished. Opposing hitters whacked them to a tune of a .467 batting average and an .867 slugging percentage. And it was even worse in 2019. While a 28-pitch sample obviously needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt, numbers like .500 and .875 stand out like a sore thumb. I asked Richards about his plans going forwar ....
