As we gear up for the Kansas City Royals' Spring Training, the excitement is palpable, but so are the questions surrounding the roster. With less than two weeks until pitchers and catchers report, it's time to dive into some bold predictions and hot takes about the team’s potential for the upcoming season.
First off, let's talk about the starting rotation. With Cole Ragans, Seth Lugo, and Michael Wacha seemingly locked in, the real battle appears to be for the fourth spot. Kris Bubic has been a name thrown around as a strong candidate, but can he truly step up and deliver? What are your thoughts on Bubic's potential? Is he the key to a successful rotation, or should the Royals be looking elsewhere?
Now, shifting to the lineup, the addition of Jonathan India and the presence of established stars like Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez raises the stakes. However, the question remains: is this lineup deep enough to compete in a tough division? With the possibility of trades looming, particularly for outfield help, who do you think should be on the trading block? Would you be willing to part with a promising prospect like Carter Jensen for a proven bat?
Speaking of trades, the speculation around acquiring an outfielder has been heating up. The proposed deal involving Carter Jensen and Hunter Harvey for Taylor Ward is intriguing, but is it too steep? What alternatives do you see that could bolster the Royals without sacrificing too much of their future?
And let’s not forget about the bullpen. With a mix of established arms and potential breakout candidates, how do you see the bullpen shaping up? Who do you think will emerge as the closer, and how crucial is the bullpen's performance to the Royals' success this season?
Finally, let’s make some predictions. Will the Royals make the playoffs again this year? What are your expectations for the team as they look to build on last season's success?
Join the conversation and share your insights, predictions, and any hot takes you have about the Royals as we approach Opening Day!
