Maybe the fairly recent success of the team is making this harder for me to accept; after the 1994 strike, I lost all interest in the Royals and baseball as the large market teams dominated. 2014 & 15 got my interest back when the Royals made some, IMO once in a lifetime, deals that helped them get to the World Series twice in a row. The scheduling was fortunate as well because they didn't face the Red Sox or Yankees in either post season.
I understand that the two pitchers I mentioned aren't making much money yet they are taking spots on the roster. I'm not a fan of the manager and what I don't understand is: if the Royals are rebuilding and want to get young players MLB experience, why even bother with older players unless it's to be a mentor in the clubhouse.
It's like reliving the late 80s, 90s, 00s, again. Or the 70s & 80s Chiefs (although the 90s were tougher because the teams were competitive and always found a way to lose).
I don't want to go back to not caring about them.
