Royals Officially Add Starling Marte, Expect Impact vs. Lefties

The Kansas City Royals have officially added outfielder Starling Marte to their roster. Manager Matt Quatraro praised Marte's 'longtime proven right-handed bat,' neutral splits, and leadership. Marte expressed comfort with the team and commitment to helping. He is expected to offer crucial roster flexibility, particularly against left-handed pitching, where he has posted a wRC+ above 100 in four of the last five seasons, aiding the lineup's overall production.
