Overall, the minor leagues have had a pretty nice start to the season. KC has some trade chips it could use now.
C.J. Alexander, Chandler Champlain, Bubic, Lynch, Noah Cameron, Eric Cerantola, even Nick Loftin... all pieces that could have some nice value in trade.
The teams that are bad don't really have much to offer for the most glaring need - a LH-hitting OF with some pop - but bullpen reinforcement is always an option.

Obviously, the Royals will continue to give these vets they signed some leash - but what do you think ends up happening with the following players:
Adam Frazier
Garrett Hampson
Hunter Renfroe
Michael Wacha
I guess I see Frazier as a placeholder on the 25 man, which could be replaced by any bat they feel like they would want to bring in given Hampsons defensive versatility.
I also wonder if the Royals don't bring back Bubic or Lynch and move Wacha to the pen?
Finally, Hunter Renfroe is a guy you could straight DFA if you found a strong defensive OF bat.
