Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

Permanently closed according to a Google search. Executive Beechcraft sold the commuter business to new owners. They promptly locked the old hanger about 4 to 5 years ago. Doubt they ever reopen. Beechcraft leased the hanger to the museum with a free use agreement that the new company didn't honor. [Reply]
The start of today’s game will be delayed due to inclement weather. We will update with more information as it becomes available. https://t.co/K3q22WVgZm
This is like Jake Arrieta all over again. Injured and disappointing. Traded. Gets healthy and makes very minor mechanical adjustment.
Turns into an ace outta nowhere.
This team can win the AL Central as-is. If they could add a productive veteran bat - preferably a lefty - and add one more arm in the pen - even better. [Reply]
