Free-agent outfielder Scott Podsednik is the latest name to surface in connection with the Royals. Club officials confirmed a FoxSports.com report of contact with Podsednik’s representatives but said talks have not progressed beyond a preliminary exploration of interest.
General manager Dayton Moore declined to comment directly on Podsednik while again emphasizing the club’s preference to seek trade possibilities over free-agent acquisitions next week at the industry’s annual winter meetings in Indianapolis.
“You know what we need and what we’re looking for,” Moore said. “But our focus right now, as I’ve said before, is really not on free agents. Sometimes, they recruit us. That’s what is happening right now.”
...
Finances are a key issue. The Royals’ interest is probably tied to Podsednik’s willingness to sign a deal similar to his $800,000 salary in 2009. Indications suggest he is seeking a far sweeter multi-year contract. If true, the Royals figure to look elsewhere.

Based on ZIPS, the top projected OPS+ for the KC outfielders goes 107, 96, 86, 85, 81 - and the 81 only counts if you consider Willie Bloomquist as an outfielder. Podsednik might actually represent an upgrade for this team.
