*****Official 2025 Royals Season Repository Thread*****

[ChiefsCountry]

Coming off an American League Divisional Series appearance, its year 3 of Matt Quatraro tenure. Can they take the next step to a division title? Can Bobby Witt, Jr. take his superstar status to another level? Can Cole Ragans develop more? Will the other starting pitching duplicate last season? The offense can it deliver more? Who will be in the outfield? How about the new stadium development?

Free Agents/Trades Acquisitions

And, and, they're only 2.5 games out of first place in the division behind Detroit.

Yeah, which is why I don't get the sentiment to rush Jac and get him up now. Just keep winning, get him to Omaha soon and up when rosters expand with little pressure at that point.

Since sporting a mustache Vinnie is 6/15 per the radio

Wtf has happened to Vinnie's plate discipline and great eye for the strike zone?

I pretty much agree, but it's awfully hard to not get excited. I know my imagination certainly wants to see Bobby flying around the bases and big bad Jac hitting bombs at the K. If the Royals keep winning, Jac keeps hitting, things will come out in the wash just fine. Jac will dictate when he's ready and we'll be that much better as a result.

Sounds like Kyle Wright had a decent four inning outing tonight in Arkansas.

Hopefully that will amount to some good depth if we need a spot starter or maybe he's gonna be nails out of the bullpen. A back end of the bullpen piece would be nice.

It was actually a few days ago. But yeah, solid line for his first time out. 4 IP, 1ER, 3H, 2BB, 4K. He’s scheduled to start again tonight, 05/07.

Kyle Wright got hit around a bit tonight. Made it 2 innings and gave up 4 runs. No HR for Cags tonight but Gavin Cross hit 2 of them including a game tying one in the 9th inning.

Finally got that slug above .300! He also struck out again so he has a strikeout in 25/27 games this year! He's only walked 2 times in his last 19 games! He's really fallen off a cliff.

Harvey (shoulder) dealing with minor setback
Hunter Harvey (shoulder) experienced renewed soreness while playing catch earlier this week.
Advice: Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Harvey’s throwing progression will be slowed down a bit before they determine his next steps. It’s not quite a full-scale shutdown, but they’re going to pump the brakes. There should be an update on his status once he throws a bullpen session in the coming days.

Sucks. He looked so good. Hope he can come back and contribute in the second half.

In the meantime, Cruz looks like a piece.

Damn. Was really hoping he was gonna get back into the fold soon.

Chris Stratton and Taylor **** both need to be gone.

Honestly just let Harvey heal up and let him be a late season bonus add. Almost like a trade. The Royals can get by at the moment.
