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.

Holy fuck this team is awful. Literally not one single redeemable quality. Worst Royals team of all time, and that's saying something! Congrats, fellas! [Reply]

What trade chips do they have now, besides Barlow and he might be hurt. You gotta hope he's not hurt and able to rebound and maybe trade him in the offseason. They don't have anything to trade. [Reply]

Eh dunno if I buy that...
They could trade Carlos Hernandez relivers blow out so fast if you got a solid offer you should look at it...
They should be willing to move on anyone they get offers for whether that is..
Yarbrough
Salvy
Lopez
Barlow
Oliveras
Greinkie
Probably no big returns there but it's something.
Also a move I'd look into is Brady Singer for Johnathan India, the Reds are open to moving him and need a SP. Singer is up and down and India was a stud 2 years ago and at worst is a solid starter so that'd sure up the infield for the next several years. [Reply]

I'd do the India for Singer, but idk if the Reds would do that. Salvy has to ok any trade, as well as Greinke and I don't see either one of them agreeing to it. If Lopez wouldnt have fallen off such a cliff offensively, then he would have brought back a little bit of something. Oliveras is such trash in the field and not good enough with the bat. Yarbough is trash. Why would anyone want any of those guys? Barlow's become ass and has a negative WAR even. [Reply]

The Dodgers traded for Kiki Hernandez who has been worse than Lopez, those guys may have some value. [Reply]

Were you guys really expecting to win this year? I expected 110+ losses. I was hoping our pitching took off instead of tanked but we have some young bats that are getting better. If you squint really hard you might be able to see this team peaking around .500 in a few years if they spend some money on SPs but that is about the ceiling. [Reply]
Players that should not be on the team next week. Replenish the farm system.

Bobby Witt Jr.
Brady Singer
Scott Barlow
