The departure of one of the Kansas City Royals' established pitchers, Jakob Junis, has sparked discussions regarding a possible reunion between the player and his former team. Junis, faced with the decision to either accept a demotion to the minors or opt for free agency, chose the latter, leading to his departure from Kansas City. However, his subsequent performance in the majors has caught the attention of his former club.
Junis initially gained prominence in 2017 as a rookie, achieving a notable 9-3 record in 20 games for the Royals. Despite his promising start, subsequent seasons saw a shift, with Junis experiencing a decrease in wins while facing challenges, including a COVID-19 delay and injuries, impacting his performance in 2020 and 2021.
