And the Royals lost 100 games in 2019. The only reason they didn't lose 100 games in 2020 is because they didn't play a full season.

Being a small market team is tough; unless they can fall into another deal like they did in 2014/15, it's going to be difficult for this team to compete with the teams with an unlimited budget on payroll.
It's not that they lose, it's that they aren't even competitive. It's hard to watch.
