David Lesky Talks Trades, Tenders (and Non), and Offseason Tomfoolery

In this episode of the Royals Rundown podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco welcome Royals insider David Lesky to dive deep into the Kansas City Royals' ongoing offseason.

They unpack a wide range of topics:

• Recent trade chatter involving names like Jonathan India and Ketel Marte

• The Royals' decision-making process and how fan sentiment should (or shouldn’t) factor in

• Coaching hires and their impact on player development

• The Royals’ ongoing search for a reliable outfield and bullpen setup

• The dilemma of high-risk, high-reward signings like Adolis Garcia

• Hypothetical blockbusters, including Mike Trout to KC (yes, really!)

• Why Bobby Witt Jr. needs a legit co-star—and soon

Plus, they discuss how health, team chemistry, and smart roster construction could make or break the 2025 season.
