2024 MLB Season
-
Now that FA signings are in full swing, let’s look at what is happening with Royals and other clubs.
I was not expecting Royals to spend but they have been very busy and have signed several veteran players including pitchers.
They have long ways to go but if these pitchers perform well, with solid group of core players, Royals can surprise, recall Rangers went from worst to World series champs.
-
Shocking!
-
Royals signed Witt Jr to 11 yr $288.8M deal.
-
Finally! Got rid of the tightwad

Sounds like the ownership is spending money so they have a competitive team to fill the new stadium when it opens.
-
They have spent over $100M in FA signings this year to make them competitive, unheard of in recent years.
-
It appears they are just trying to get public support for a new downtown stadium. Once they get the tax dollars we shall see if ownership continues to spend money on the team.
-
Crossroads it is
-
@FarmerJayhawk Is that the old KC Star printing press location?
-
@dylans I believe so
-
Brad Keller has signed a minor league deal with While Sox @wissox
-
@AsadZ It’s part of a running joke around here with “Kansas City White Sox” being the general punch line. Rich Getz, Pedro Grifol, Nicky Lopez, now Brad Keller, I forget whom else, but rebuilding the team with KC discards doesn’t seem to be the best plan for future success! (no offense Royals fans!)
-
@wissox You’re supposed to to the Yankee thing and overpay the Royals free agents so the home team can’t retain the good talent they’ve developed.
-
@dylans Yeah, we’re just like the Yankees. I think I heard there’s two teams that have never given a 100 million$ contract, and the Sox are one of them.
-
@wissox Who’s the second team? Cincinnati? I think the Royals signed Bobby Witt to a huge deal.
-
@dylans I thought I’d heard the A’s. Yes the Royals were on that list until the Witt signing.
-
I was hoping Pratto was in the roster instead of Minors
Also I would have liked to see Lynch get 5th spot in the rotation instead of Marsh
-
Never been so uninterested in a Sox season opener than I am right now.
-
After scoring 2 runs in first two games Royals had an outburst scoring 11 runs with 5 HRs.
Witt Jr had a big night.
Singer was solid, looked like an ace.
-
Two blown saves already, yikessss.
Instead of 3-3 Royals are 2-4.
Ragans was electric, sorry to see him not getting W.
-
While it is early, Royals starting pitching is looking solid.
Bullpen is okay but back end needs to shore up a bit.
Hitting is work in progress.
Overall, much better than last year.
-
-
It is early but Royals are becoming entertaining, on a 7 game winning streak.
-
Will Smith has been a disappointment so far, cannot get outs.
-
@AsadZ At least he hasn’t slapped anyone…
