Good breakdown as anyways, really appreciate the good content, it seems you have cemented yourself as The Royals offseason content! Lol. I agree with Tracey, the TV deals concern me..

The TV deal with the ballpark and an attempt to sign Bobby concerns me even more. I just don't see Sherman and JJ spending much even in the second tier of FA. The farm and MLB team are nowhere close. But, they obviously know that and I love that they are spending on a Scouting Director, Analysts, Development director, hitting coach etc!!

Glad to hear they were in on Canha. I think trades is where they can make impactful additions and I agree, I really hope we see something soon!

How we evaluate possibilities…….I like that segment. Can go all day on it really. See, I’d like to get away from the can they get us to 80 wins mentality as an organization to be honest. And we have seen this all the time. For example, they bet on having the talent as you mentioned. They were proven wrong, but with no consequence. Now, I’m hopeful with the new scouting director some more changes or coming, but doesn’t sound like this year. But besides, Witt Jr, Salvy, Vinny, and Ragans, nobody has really proven themselves on this roster and we can even look at Vinny (injury), and Ragans (injury, length) with a little skepticism. So if Cantrill, or Yarbrough (proven that he’s better than anyone we have), or Meadows, or Senzel, or Lewis are better than what you have now. You have to pick them up in my view. It’s fine that you didn’t last year. Year of evaluation…essentially starting over that’s fine. But they are to the point as an organization and a front office that you have improve everywhere you can and get to 75 wins first…then take the next step.
