*** Official 2018-2019 Royals Offseason Repository ***
As the season comes to a close after an awful season, there is a possibility of some hope since the team played better in late August to the end of the season.

Here are all the important dates you need to know for the 2018-19 MLB offseason. Some of them do involve the Royals, such as:

Oct. 29: As of 9 a.m. ET on Monday, all eligible players are free agents (Escobar - good riddance).

Oct. 31: Most contract option decisions are due on this date (Hammel should be declined, resulting $2 million buyout and Peralta should be accepted, resulting $3 million increase to the payroll, and could be future flip for additional minor leaguers if he performs well).


Nov. 2: Deadline for teams to tender their eligible FA the qualifying offer.


Nov. 3: Free agency begins.

Nov. 4: Gold Glove winners announced (Gordon & Perez).


Nov. 6-8: General manager meetings in Carlsbad, California.

Nov. 12: Deadline for free agents to accept or reject the qualifying offer.

Nov. 14-15: Owners meetings in Atlanta (possible future CBA discussions).

Nov. 20: Deadline for teams to add eligible minor leaguers to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft.

Spoiler!


Nov. 26-29: MLB Players Association executive board meeting in Dallas (possible future CBA discussions).

Nov. 30: Non-tender deadline.

Dec. 9-13: Winter Meetings in Las Vegas. This is typically when all offseason hell breaks loose.

Dec. 13: Rule 5 Draft (could see the Royals taking a stab here).

Jan. 11: Deadline for teams and arbitration-eligible players to submit 2019 salary figures (I believe KC has some arb-eligible players).

Feb. 1-20: Arbitration hearings. You win some, you lose some.

Mid-Feb. : SPRING TRAINING!

As usual, let's have a good off-season discussion on ways that the Royals can/should/would do to improve. I will try to update the OP as the off-season goes along. And Duncan, you're more than welcome to provide us some information that I can add onto the OP. Just let me know.

Carry on, lads...

Goodwin likely makes the final 25, unless they pull a surprise and go with another utility player or outfielder that they elevate to the 40.

It's pretty much a lock now that Goodwin/Soler are going to share RF/DH duties. The OF will be Gordon, Hamilton, Goodwin, Soler, Gore... plus Whit and Owings can play all the OF positions so Ned has a ton of flexibility. Basically have 6 guys who can play any OF spot.

The question is if they carry 13 position players that still leaves one more spot open.

C Maldonado
1B O'Hearn
2B Whit
SS Mondesi
3B Dozier
LF Gordon
CF Hamilton
RF Goodwin
DH Soler

Gallagher C
Owings 2B/SS/3B/OF
Gore OF
BENCH PLAYER

Interesting things from spring...


I fully expect KC to be bad this year, but the offense could be sneaky effective.

Merrifield and Mondesi are a dangerous 1-2 combo. And then the middle... Gordon-Soler-OHearn doesn’t look great on paper, but consider...

Gordon changed his training regimen and looks to have regained some bad speed. He looks quicker and more flexible.

Soler looks locked in. His raw power is no joke and he has good plate discipline. If he’s healthy, he could finally deliver on his promise.

And ohearn has good power and patience from the left side.

That should be a trio that makes starters work.

So, 1-5 could be decent, then 6-9 terrible?

I agree the question about Soler is 100% about health. I thought he looked good last year, let alone this spring. I don't know if he's going to be an all-star, but it sure looks like he can be a productive offensive player if he can just stay healthy for once.

The real wild card will probably be O'Hearn. If he hits at all like last season, watch out. But it's also possible he regresses.
