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.

The years when the Royals were in committee receivership -the Allard Baird years before David Glass- the Royals told the fans "hey, just be happy you get to watch MLB in KC. You get to see the stars for all the other teams play here!" Yeah, well... I'm afraid we're going right back to that situation. The Royals are a AAAA team, and players like Bobby Witt Jr. will be gone first chance he gets, like Damon or Beltran. I've seen this movie. [Reply]
