How Former Kansas City Royals Have Performed in 2017 Playoffs

The Kansas City Royals didn’t make the playoffs this season, but several former players did with their current teams. Here’s a look at how those ex-Royals have performed thus far.

While the members of the 2017 Kansas City Royals aren’t experiencing the postseason, there are some former players who have made the playoffs with other teams. So we’ve decided to take a look at how those individuals have done, so far.

Most of the players have struggled. Some of them didn’t survive their respective wild card game, while others got sent home during the division series. However, a few did make it through to the league championship series.

Depending on the player, it can be fun or frustrating to watch them in the postseason with someone else. Obviously, the circumstances surrounding their respective departures has a huge influence on those feelings.

Some of the players left in trades that were wins for the Kansas City Royals; others left in trades that were losses—or at least seem to be losses at this point. Some players signed with other teams when the Royals had hoped to re-sign them; others signed with other teams when the team showed no interest in keeping them around.

Regardless, all of these guys played for the Kansas City Royals at one point—that means no Mike Montgomery—and are thus of interest.
