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 Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

5. Scored the 6th most runs in baseball
6. Given up the 5th fewest runs in baseball
Just a stunning year they are having regardless of how it ends up. [Reply]
