*****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

Are they going to leave the frank white statute at the old k after the voters approve a new stadium?

Is this about the only thing we have to look forward to this season for our Royals?

Nothing personal at all but I've heard this almost year since 2015.

How do you go from over 100 losses 106 to be exact from the previous season to competing for the division the next year? Crappy division I guess??

Acquisitions Hunter Renfroe (OF), Michael Wacha (SP), Seth Lugo (SP), and Will Smith (RP) going to make all the difference, apparently.

The Star site being available changed things because that is the number one site.

Looks like our man Maikel hit a HR in Venezuela that led to a huge fight.

Last night, with the game tied in the 8th, Maikel García hit a go-ahead 2-run HR in the LVBP Gran Final. ����

And then chaos ensued.

It was a great, electric, high-scoring game that unfortunately has been overshadowed by the fight.

The team is clearly improved but there’s nothing life changing there regardless of the spending spree. They should be watchable though.

This team can win the AL Central IF they get the best versions of Singer and Ragans, and Vinnie Pasquantino returns with a vengeance. There are some big IFS there.

Path gets easier if they were to add someone like Chapman in FA.

The other key is someone like McArthur was for real. Have a couple guys like McArthur and McMillon blow up and become lockdown relievers to line up with the veteran relievers they signed. A couple good starters, solid bullpen and Witt, Vinny and Salvy mashing... don't know if it wins the division but you'd think they'd at least run at a wild card spot, which at this point is just getting a little above .500.
