***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.

The Royals seem to always have encouraging signs in the second half which in the past led me to be overly optimistic for the following season. I'm now jaded over 2nd half performances.

Does anyone have opinions on this? Has it been poor execution of any sort of offseason programs? Do they need a sports psychologist to come in for the first two months of the season? Maybe they are tired to start the season from competing for all those cactus league championships? Could this offseason be different with the current coaching staff now having a full year and continuing their new approach? I want to believe...

I'm still shocked to this day that McMillon didn't get drafted in the first 10 rounds after leading Texas Tech to the 2019 College World Series.

He was a shutdown fireballer that gave the Red Raiders length. Obviously, it's the walks that hurt his draft stock, but thought he was too much of an arm talent to get taken in the 11th round by the Tigers. He didn't sign of course.

I know innocent until proven guilty and all that, but this is looking really bad for Wander. Must be digging up some pretty bad shit.

I want to believe to. Personally I think they have 3/5 SP, and need to add one corner Of bat and they could maybe compete for the division. But will ownership invest?

It's one thing to have a strong September. It's another to show it over several-month sample sizes.

But yeah, it does have the feel of something that might evaporate at the start of next season.

ESPN article came out with a contract projection for Shohei Ohtani.

Their prediction...


12 yr $787.9 mil

That contract would have a 99% chance of being the worst contract in sports history. He will turn 30 in his first year and players can fall off fast after that. There is no way he'd keep up production to the point that the contract would be worth it. Damn near $70 mil a year is ludicrous, especially over 12 seasons and in a sport like baseball in which you can have that very player and pair him with one of the greatest players ever and not make the playoffs.

The only player in professional sports thatd I would give that contract to would be Patrick Mahomes.

He really does warrant a double contract. I'd request TWO contracts if I were him. One for his offense and another as a pitcher. I'd want to be paid based on both merits fairly.

With that said, baseball is a sport where you can really set your franchise back if you pay the wrong guy. It's hard to say any guy is worth 50M a year. No one baseball player can impact the team the same way a QB can in football or any player in basketball.

One of those that just kept carrying and carrying. Bellinger looked like he was underneath it but tracked it until he ran out of room.

Mofo is hitting .341 with a 1.035 OPS over his last 30 games with 9 HRs and 30 RBIs. He's playing like a guy that could carry a team.

Ragans with another pretty good outting so far.

6 IP/8 Hits/3 ER/2 BBs/9 Ks

Really exciting stuff from him. Counting today's game he's pitched 28 2/3 innings/2.20 ERA/36 strikeouts/10 walks

A simple change of adding a slider has him looking like a borderline ace of he can get the hits down a tad.
