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?

That's not very many with the recent surge of home runs across the league. 20 dingers is becoming the norm. Not that it matters though, this team isn't going anywhere this year obviously. But I wanted at least some incentive in watching the games. They could pick up Altuve and still not reach 3rd place in the division.

@JonHeyman: lorenzo cain has begun informing some teams they are out of consideration. unclear exactly how close he is to a final call, though, as he's believed to be weighing a variety of offers.
@JonHeyman: lorenzo cain is believed to have received several 4-year offers at this point. unclear exactly when his call is coming though he has narrowed the field.
