3 players in the World Series that the KC Royals should target in free agency this offseason

LAD Blake Treinen, RHP

Blake Treinen missed all of 2023 after labrum and rotator cuff surgery, but responded in a big way this year, posting a 7-3 record with a 1.80 ERA and 0.943 WHIP in 50 appearances during the regular season, striking out 85 in 72.1 innings. So far during the Dodgers' playoff campaign, he's converted three save opportunities with 11 strikeouts in 8.0 innings.

As good as the Royals' bullpen was in the postseason and latter stages of the regular season, it can always use an upgrade. Treinen brings a wealth of postseason experience to the bullpen with more than 33 innings pitched in 30 appearances, a 1.07 WHIP and a .214 opponents' batting average.

Adding Treinen to the backend of games along with Kris Bubic and Lucas Erceg would finally give the Royals a bullpen they could bet on.
