***Official 2023 Royals Season Repository Thread***



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.

Free Agents/Trades Acquisitions

Ryan Yarbrough, LHP
Josh Taylor, LHP

Every peripheral number that matters (Hard hit rate, groundball rate, strikeout rate, walk rate, etc) has improved over last year, and his traditional numbers have improved, too.

His defense has improved drastically. He's on pace for 5 bWAR/6 fWAR and pacing for 30 HR and 45 SB with GG level defense while being 15-20 percent above average offensively.

And that's IF he stays at his whole year pace. If he stays hot like he has since June 1, the numbers will be even better.

It's 1.25 seasons later than expected/hoped, but this version of Witt is what people were dreaming on. Pretty close to max upside.
I've been saying it, if he stays red hot, then he's going to do something that's never been done in the history of the game.

30 2B, 10 3B, 30 HR, 50 SBs

It's just absurd.

JJ should have been standing there as he rounded third base with a pen to get Bobby signed before this contract gets too much higher.

Hard to see the Royals paying what he'll be worth. Painful, but would get a huge haul trading him with years of control. It's what poverty franchises have to do.

This team has so much more fight than early in the season. Great comeback, too bad Blanco wasn't paying attention at third.
