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?

Free Agents/Trades Acquisitions

Michael Wacha, SP
Kyle Wright, SP
Hunter Renfroe, OF/DH
Will Smith, RP
Chris Stratton, RP
Nick Anderson, RP

He's definitely giving up some projected life time earnings for more certainty. Must be the good BBQ and hanging out with Mahomes.

Its not like the Royals dont have some risk. This is probably a bigger risk for the Royals than it is for the Dodgers signing Ohtani because the Dodgers are worth 6 times as much as the Royals.

Bobby Baseball.

It's a HECK of a deal for Kansas City, not gonna lie.

Bobby and his agent did us a solid. Royals must have convinced them they were committed to at least TRYING to win going forward.

I dunno. I think we should have traded him for picks to take some guys that no one has ever heard of who might be ready for the majors in 5 years.

Or just sign the rising star to keep him here.

I’m good either way.

I didn't think there was a snow balls chance in hell of BWJ to sign an extension here. Happy, happy, happy to be wrong.
