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
Seth Lugo, SP
Michael Wacha, SP
Kyle Wright, SP
Hunter Renfroe, OF/DH
Will Smith, RP
Chris Stratton, RP
Nick Anderson, RP
Adam Frazier, 2B
Garrett Hampson, INF/OF
Matt Sauer, RP

We get it, we get it... But we know what the Royals will do. They're gonna send Loftin down to Omaha, promote Massey, and as long as Massey plays well, or well enough, in about a month when either Hampson, Frazier or both are barely slugging their weight, the Royals will quietly admit defeat and DFA one of those jokers around Memorial Day. Then Loftin rejoins the team.

In about 20 minutes, our own beloved KC Royals will be standing atop the standings in the Central Division. Hallelujah! It's only the second week of April, but I'll take it!

Honestly at this point it's probably okay because I'd rather Loftin get ABs every day than sit on the bench behind Massey.

First place with the best run differential in baseball

I would bet you and ungodly amt of money that we don't win 90 games. Just an absurd amt of money.

Anybody know what the biggest jump in win totals from one year to the next might be?

If the Royals went from 56 to 90 wins in a single year, I've gotta think that would be at least in the top 5. Not impossible, but a LOT of history working against this from happening.

The #Royals are all alone in first place after the first week of the season for the first time since May 3, 2021.

I think it’s time again. #Royals take over first place with a win vs. the Mets and a Cleveland loss to the Yankees! #KCMagicNumber is 148! pic.twitter.com/ubwkuDhPJ6

Tried looking that up, as far as I can tell no one has ever lost 100 one year and won 90 the next. A few teams have won 80+ games. The 2017 Twins are the only team to lose 100 and make the playoffs the next year. But now 6 teams make the playoffs so it's a little easier.

Biggest jump I'm able to find is the Atlanta Braves from 90 to 91. 29 game jump in wins from 65 to 94 wins and a World Series appearance in one year.
