• This year’s Royals are better on paper but will that translate to more wins?

Photo by Ed Zurga/Getty Images The Royals look better on paper, but they might not win as many games as the 2024 version. The roster that the Royals having heading into the 2025 regular season is just better than what they started with last season. That does not mean they will win more games than the 2024 Royals, but I do like that this front office seems to improve the roster yearly. Let’...2025

Don’t get swept. I don’t figure in any sweeps and split all four-game and two-game...2024
