Report: Padres FA Seth Lugo Being Pursued by Royals amid Search for Starting Pitching

Seth Lugo is reportedly being targeted by the Kansas City Royals as the team continues its search for more starting pitchers.

Per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, the Royals are expected to pursue Lugo, who is a free agent after opting out of his 2-year contract with the Padres.

Rosenthal noted the Royals are looking to add starting pitching, as they have just two on the roster currently in Cole Ragans and Brady Singer.
