2023 – A new beginning for the Royals. Matt Quatraro era begins. A year to see which of our young players will make up the core going forward. Can Bobby Witt Jr become a superstar SS or will go to the hot corner? Will Brady Singer take the next step forward? Will Salvy be Salvy? Will Big Vin or Pratto take first base? Will they find a position for MJ? Who else emerges from the youth movement? Not to mention the development of the new downtown stadium.

If you have been paying attention on Twitter, the Royals are extremely active in the pitching market and potential trades. Not in the big names of course, but alot of them. It's something you don't see from them normally. Lots of smoke out there and it's from the big name national guys.

Ohtani to the Dodgers….the most boring and predictable outcome of his FA comes to fruition.

Soto to the Yanks as all the other day…

Yay baseball….

Baseball economics need fixed so badly. Shohei's contract AAV is more than the whole 40 man payroll for like 4 orgs last year. Seems like an equitable system.

dlphg9 · 12-09-2023, 03:07 PM

This is going to be the worst contract in baseball in 3 years.

"Japan's new team"

I doubt this has much to do with trying to win.

Hell, I could see him falling off a cliff in just a few years with the bat.

Left-handed reliever Will Smith and the Kansas City Royals are in agreement on a one-year, $5 million contract, sources tell ESPN.

Smith, 34, made his big league debut with the Royals in 2012. He has won a World Series ring each of the last three seasons.

The Royals traded Will Smith to the Brewers in 2014 to get Nori Aoki.
