• The Royals are getting back to being an elite defensive team

Photo by Ed Zurga/Getty Images Love their glove. When the Royals rose to prominence a decade ago (has it been that long already? Sheesh!), they weren’t known for hitting home runs or having elite starting pitching. Instead, they prided themselves on having a high-contact lineup, a shutdown bullpen, and an elite defense. The 2014-15 Royals had 95.6 Defensive Runs Above Average, 40 better t...2024

• The Cubs’ defense is struggling

Dansby Swanson fields a ground ball against Houston | Photo by Jamie Sabau/Getty Images This is not how the front office built this team. The Cubs have a unique build that served them well last season and allowed them to overperform most projection systems considerably.
