Royals Roster Projection 1: The Pitchers
This part is a little easier than the offense for the 2025 Royals.
Yesterday I stumbled through an initial roster projection for Royals hitters as the calendar flipped to February. While I think there are plenty of things that can change with the pitchers, their part of the roster is at least a little more set, at least in terms of who is going to make it. There are always a handful of relievers who could go either way, so I’ll get to that in a bit, but I think it’s pretty easy to see how pitching is the bread and butter of this team in 2025.
As with the hitters yesterday, I’ll use last season’s stats for this first projection and then in future ones will turn to projections.
