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.

Apparently, there is hope.
The Rangers have spent a lot to get there, while the diamondback developed pitching...both things are apparently impossible for our Royals.
The pitching development is incredible how poor it has been... even during the good years, outside of the bullpen, we didn't develop starting arms. Yordano was about it. If we could somehow start to put out actual big league starters, it would drastically change the trajectory of this morbid franchise. [Reply]
What are the rules with the ***Official 2024 Royals Season Repository Thread***? Does it start immediately following the World Series? With the Calendar Year?
I'm looking forward to burying the 2023 season which I believe I initially predicted the Royals would finish over .500. So, to not jinx this team again, I'll predict 96 losses for 2024 which I guess is sadly still a drastic improvement. [Reply]

New Years Day is when we do the new thread [Reply]
I understand this thought...but free agency, rule 5 draft roster window, etc. all begin within 1-2 weeks after the World Series ends. Wouldn't a 2024 Season Thread be a good place to discuss ongoings with the team?
