Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

The future is exciting for baseball in KC!
I have been more mad at some of the players, I haven't called for Q to be let go. I don't blame him for the Dayton Moore shit drafting, the minor leagues have 2 guys that are going to be in the majors for the Royals and actually provide some real pop. Also not his fault a guy that acquired at the deadline that quit on the Royals. [Reply]
Look, there's a lot of things about Qbert's style and decisions that I don't like. But pro sports are a results based business. The Royals were a joke last year and are gonna win 85 games or so and probably make the playoffs. He should be manager of the year and it shouldn't be close. [Reply]

I dunno man. Aaron Boone has done a hell of a job.
Every time Aaron Judge walks to the play, Boone yells “hey go hit a homerun”.
