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

Also it's amazing what our top 4 guys are doing in terms of RBIs. Here are there numbers now, their rankings in all of the Majors and what they are on pace for.

#1 - Garcia - 38 RBIs - 36th - 87 RBIs
#2 - Witt Jr. - 51 RBIs - 7th - 114 RBIs
#3 - Pasquatch - 46 RBIs - 13th - 109 RBIs
#4 - Salvy - 45 RBIs - 16th - 105 RBIs

Hell it was rare to see any of our guys get 80+ RBIs, but now we have 4 guys on pace for it. That's insane.

In 2000 we had 3 guys with 100 or more RBIs

Sweeney, Dye, and Randa. If Beltran wouldn't have been hurt he more than likely makes it 4.

Michael Wacha is on track to make a rehab outing with the Arizona Complex League tomorrow, Matt Quatraro said. #Royals could get him back in the rotation by next weekend against Texas.

He'll get one soon enough. Obviously they cannot put Lynch back out there in a starting role. I bet we see Bubic before or immediately after the AS break.

Well, after today the schedule eases up quite a bit for awhile.

That 4 game series with the Guardians will be huge.

Cubs giving up on Jose Cuas. Hasn't even been a year since the Velazquez trade.

The Chicago Cubs added reliever Ethan Roberts to their 40-man roster and optioned him to Triple-A Iowa, and designated right-hander José Cuas for assignment.

Salvador Perez and Bobby Witt Jr. are second to an Orioles player in the first update on All-Star voting. #Royals pic.twitter.com/hOdwfeSUqm

Also of note is that Michael Massey is currently 3rd place in voting for 2B. And, unbelievably, former Royal Ryan O'Hearn is currently 4th place at DH. The Orioles are clearly stuffing the ballots but still crazy to see him ranked at all or even getting votes.

Based on current winning percentage the Royals have the sixth easiest schedule for the rest of the season

They'd better start eating, then.

BTW, man could we have a guy like Mason Miller come out of the bullpen. My goodness, that was impressive.

This should be our bullpen's theme song...

Excellent summary of the current TV rights situation and the limited options available to MLB and the Royals while the Bally/Diamond mess is sorted out:

That's what is called consistent. Consistently awful.
