I get it, yes you only need to keep Ventura in AAA for about 3 or 4 weeks to lock up that extra year (in 2020) and normally I'd be all for that, but not this year. If Ventura continues to look like an ace, then we need those extra 4 or 5 starts. That may the difference between having 1 or 2 extra wins, which could keep us in or out of the playoffs.
Our margin is too narrow, and the team could suck in 2020 for all we know. If Ventura continues to look great, then that 7th year be damned, we need him.

Wow... The kid has one start... ONE START that he's shown ace stuff... Sure, he's been effective in his few other starts dating to last year, but he labors... The guy still has to learn how to pitch past the 4th and 5th innings. We've been waiting for Duffy to make that turn for 2+ years now...
Some Royals fans need to temper expectations! lol
Sure I wanna see him pitching at KC like everyone else... we want to see him in a Royals uniform, but damn.. it was one start!
