As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the Kansas City Royals are generating some buzz, particularly with their projected standings and roster dynamics. ZiPS has them finishing 82-80, which raises some interesting questions about their potential to disrupt the AL Central. With a pitching staff that might be the best in franchise history, can they really keep pace with the Guardians and Twins?
One of the most intriguing aspects of this season is the reliance on Bobby Witt Jr. How much pressure does that put on him, and can he rise to the occasion? Or will the holes in the lineup become too glaring as the season progresses?
And speaking of lineup dynamics, let’s talk about Joey Wiemer. There’s a bold prediction floating around that he could start more games in the outfield than Hunter Renfroe. Given Renfroe's struggles last season, is it time for the Royals to pivot and invest in Wiemer as a key player? What do you think about this potential shift?
Injuries are already creeping in, with concerns about Marsh's shoulder tightness. How do you think these early setbacks will impact the team's momentum as they head into Spring Training?
Let’s also not forget the broader context of the division. With no truly ambitious teams in the AL Central, does this create a unique opportunity for the Royals to make a surprising run?
I want to hear your thoughts! What are your predictions for the Royals this season? Who do you think will emerge as the unsung hero? And how do you feel about the current roster construction? Let’s dive into the discussion!
