Royals *****Official 2025 Royals Season Repository Thread***** - Page 14

Coming off an American League Divisional Series appearance, its year 3 of Matt Quatraro tenure. Can they take the next step to a division title? Can Bobby Witt, Jr. take his superstar status to another level? Can Cole Ragans develop more? Will the other starting pitching duplicate last season? The offense can it deliver more? Who will be in the outfield? How about the new stadium development?

As we just announced on 95.7FM @kcmotalkradio, former @Royals GM/President Dayton Moore is traveling #Kansas in the weeks ahead and exploring a run for Kansas Governor in 2026 as a Republican.

Flaherty probably made the right move going back to the Tigers' pitching lab under Chris Fetter as they were the ones who fixed him.

The Tigers made out well renting him to the Dodgers as they acquired SS Trey Sweeney, who is probably not a first division regular but was an upgrade because he wasn't Javier Baez.

They also landed catcher Thayron Liranzo, who is on some top 100 lists. He has big time power and a big time throwing arm, similar to our guy Blake Mitchell. The Tigers are also flushed with catcher depth as they have Josue Briceno, the Arizona Fall League MVP.
