*****Official 2024 Royals Season Repository Thread*****

[ChiefsCountry]

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

Without the "fit," you could argue that it works better than my regular name. I might even be convinced to keep it.

Shohei just hit #50 btw

Ohtani 5-5 today with 2 HRs and 2 SB.

And for that, we should drop another nuke on Japan.

Don't get to come over to the best country in the world and show us up

As you wish

Your threat didn't seem to have much effect.

Well, this was outdated pretty quickly. My God

[smithandrew051]

Yeah that’s an all timer for Ohtani.

It’s a shame the Royals only offered him $699 million. Almost had him.

The Jays literally did and he turned them down.

Just an absolute monster of a game.

[tk13]

The fact that he did it to get 50/50 is even more insane. Maybe he is worth $700 million.

A million dollar ball from one of the greatest individual performances of all-time and the Dodgers couldn't pry it away with autograph bats

The fan who caught Shohei Ohtani’s 50th Home Run baseball has opted to walk away with it. Dodgers did not get it back.

35 years ago I created the 40/40 club

Shohei Ohtani created the 50/50 club tonight

Congratulations to him pic.twitter.com/YG5zUd0u4U

There is no way I'm giving that ball up. I'm selling it and they can buy it at an auction house if they want it bad enough.

I can see it going for over a million, easy.
