Royals *****Official 2025 Royals Season Repository Thread***** - Page 21

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?

Free Agents/Trades Acquisitions
Jonathan India, 2B
Joey Wiemer, OF

It was between us and the Yankees.

Yanks said he had to cut his hair. He said go fk ya self.

So he came here and Yanks changed their policy after all of these years after missing out on such a Blockbuster Free Agent like India.

Interesting note that Maikel Garcia is playing CF in today's spring training game. Today's outfield is Massey-Garcia-Melendez.

That might be the worst defensive outfield in history.

The Royals are leaning into some things that have been said out there...like making Garcia a super utility guy.

It still highlights they're missing a bat.

Kris Bubic getting 8 whiffs on 18 pitches today for the Royals is exciting! Even more exciting is averaging over 17inches of iVB on the four-seamer!

Kris Bubic was so, so good yesterday. #Royals
- Four-seamer and sinker both sat around 93.
- Upper 80s cutter is such a weapon as a velocity separator between the fastballs and offspeed. It’s also a totally different movement profile.
- Changeup still getting 3 inches more drop… pic.twitter.com/JQcNX1RBKZ

BWillie is always wrong.

You don't have any posts saying the banning of the shift would help. Just this one claiming you thought it after the fact. So no, no you didn't tell us anything.
