Free agency has just begun for Major League Baseball, and while you can expect the Royals to grab up some much-needed players (probably not high-profile players, barring a trade), one of their biggest targets should be left-handed relief help.

Last season, the Royals deployed these left-handed options out of the bullpen: Daniel Lynch IV, Angel Zerpa, Sam Long, Bailey Falter and Evan Sisk. Their respective WAR numbers were 1.3, 0.3, -0.7, -0.7 and 0.1. That combines for 0.1 across the five different lefties, and that’s even worse if you take out Lynch’s 1.3. The unit was very underwhelming.

Lynch and Zerpa will probably be back for the Royals, at least to start the year, but Long is already out. Sisks was dealt for Falter, who is out of options and could be a starter or reliever.
