Former Kansas City Royals outfielder MJ Melendez is trying to win an Opening Day spot with the Mets. And it seems he's trying to do it in a surprising way.
After Royals prospect, Luinder Avila had a promising start to his MLB career in 2025, KC will have a decision to make on where he profiles in the future.
In the Royals' 2026 spring training home opener, prospect catcher Luca Tresh will get the start behind the plate amid a battle for the third catcher's role.
