*****Official 2025 Royals Season Repository Thread*****




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?

I tend to agree. It isn't ideal. Certainly would've preferred to see us get a more guaranteed sure thing with a bat as we need to make every clear effort to win during BWJ's prime years.

But man, MJ does have power. Dude had a monster minor league year four years ago when he cranked out 41 dingers, a year twice removed from when he knocked out 19 homers at the age of 19. That is unusual power you don't just give up on.

Obviously his time to shine is now. If it doesn't happen this year, we likely move on. And hopefully he doesn't turn into Ryan ****ing O'Hearn with the O's.

Not expecting any miracles, but if he can up his contact rate, walk rate, and get his BA up .20-.30 points, that would make a big difference and would play at the big league level as long as he retains the same power, hopefully translating into a consistent 20-30 HR threat with competent skills in left.

I don't even know why MLB bothers. Who on Earth EVER watches a game that isn't their own team in MLB. I don't think Ive watched a non-Royals baseball game since 97.

I think the availability is better now. For $19.99 you can watch the Royals wherever you are located. That isn't bad.

Yup.

Gordo and Moose say ‘hello’

MJ is a first year arbitration eligible player making literal peanuts ($2.6 mil.) in terms of baseball contracts.

With the swing adjustment and limited cost, you hold on to him for a couple more years to see if he can finally ‘unlock’ it.

Boom. Booked my flight, got my tix and I'm going to Seattle in June/July to see the Royals at Safeco. Gonna talk to a buddy this weekend about possibly making plans to also see the Royals in San Francisco in mid-May. Two ballparks I've wanted to visit for a long time. Can't wait!

During the season last year, he used a revamped swing for a little bit with a little success, and then regressed back to that awkward batting stance he has.
Muscle memory is one of the hardest things to change. Hopefully Melendez took complete advantage of this whole off-season to rebuild his stance and swing.

According to the MLB write-up, Jac "dialed it back" on the swing.
