The Royals have everyone else right where they want them. They may have more losses than wins in the Cactus League so far, but that won't matter. They'll just come back after the other teams boot some grounders.
The Royals play against the Brewers and the Mariners today. Yordano Ventura gets the start against Milwaukee. Bubba Starling and Jorge Bonifacio will be playing in that game. Matt Strahm will start against Seattle. Cody Decker and Hunter Dozier will see some action in that game. Ryan O'Hearn is backing up Kendrys Morales at first base in the game against Seattle, and Whit Merrifield and Brett Eibner could also see a little action in the same game.
