*****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

JJ Picollo tells us that if his starts goes well that Michael Lorenzen could join the club as early as this weekend but says Hunter Harvey is still very stagnant in his recovery

Just thought I'd add we're 9-10 with one game remaining of Gauntlet Part Two. Considering we lost Lorenzen and Vinnie, and lost 7 in a row, I'd say that's a pretty successful few weeks, win or lose tomorrow.

JJ this morning said this morning if we went 8-12 in this stretch we would need help, 10-10 feeling good, anything more than .500 real good.

Screw the Nats, they knew he was damaged goods. I'd never deal with them again.

It's pretty well documented that he'd had previous back issues, as recent as this season. If anything, this is on us. But hopefully he's able to come back and contribute positively at some point, even it's next season.
