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.

Yeah, that's a headscratcher. Maybe they think they can do something with him, but I would think that you could sign guys out of the indy league to match his performance. Very puzzling. [Reply]

Can we trade for Luke Weaver again? Hes had a great year for Cincinnati with his 6.80 era. Really thought last year was just an aberration! We need some relief pitchers to win games so we can lose 111 games instead of 117. [Reply]
