It's the end of the world as we know it... and we feel... fine?
2018 is a season of transition for the Royals, or at least it is at this point. Dayton Moore is back. Will he swing full into THE PROCESS 2.0? Or will he try to load up again and make some reload magic happen?

Is it any wonder why everyone loves Salvy Perez;
Lorenzo Cain couldn’t believe it.
In his first day at spring-training camp with the Milwaukee Brewers, Cain didn’t expect he’d find a teammate secretly recording him in the same manner as former Royals teammate Salvador Perez.
But Cain, who signed a five-year, $80 million contract with the Brewers, was in the clubhouse Thursday in Sunnyvale, Ariz., and found a Venezuelan catcher recording him: Manny Piña, the former Royal.
Cain threw his arms up in the air in mock anger.
