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.

Let's try this for the third time. Back in our division.

He's cheap and can be decent depth. If he stays healthy.
I get what you are saying. It's a minor league contract and pretty much irrelevant, but how much depth do we need at first base?
If you're acquiring some scratch off lottery tickets as players, this team should be using those minimum dollars on pitchers. Seems like we have enough players who have a first baseman glove in their locker (Though maybe the new coaching regime will be less likely to play guys out of position, I hope). [Reply]

He can play both corner outfield positions as well. [Reply]
