If you don't receive revenue sharing, then you just can't have consecutive top 6 picks.

Also, according to MLB.com teams that receive revenue-sharing payouts can't receive a lottery pick for more than two years in a row and those that don't can't get a top 6 choice in consecutive drafts.

A lottery pick is a top 6 pick. The Royals haven't received a lottery pick, because they have pick 8 this year, so they can still get a top 6 pick next year (2024) and the year after (2025). They were in the lottery, but every team that isn't in the playoffs is in the lottery. That doesn't mean they received a lottery pick.

The season somehow gets even worse.

The Royals really are gonna go for the worst season ever.

Might as well get it fixed now, team isn't going anywhere this year. Pratto getting exclusive time at first base is a good thing.

That is a big dent in their playoff chances.

Good (or bad) article in the Star today about the new stadium.

Jesus ****ing Christ,

I almost guarantee that this will be one of those things that absolutely ruins the kid. God damn this franchise to hell.

Time to sign Hosmer!

Sherman seems more like a snake as time goes on. Mother****er has wanted to move down town and has been talking about it for over a year now, but literally doesn't want to give any type of details. I don't think he was expecting this team to be atrocious and now he's worried about what kind of response he's going to get from tax payers.

Obviously they're in much different roles but I'm picking up Pioli era Chiefs vibes from Sherman

Gave me a chuckle

He's scouring downtown building sites for candy wrappers as we speak.

How can we build a taxpayer funded mega entertainment district here if we can't even pick up the cig butts and tequila rose bottles?

We'll see. Glass was terrible early on but he learned as he went along. He still had things that could have been better, especially when trading away guys and not eating some of their salary, but when they actually had a legit shot he'd approve trades for veterans and spend a little money. He let Dayton improve the baseball operations and he let him spend over slot in the draft to game the system. Of course spending money meant ending up with guys like Ian Kennedy sometimes, but they made a fair effort for a small market team. We have no idea what Sherman's going to do. The returns so far have been bad all the way around. And now we have no idea about all this stadium stuff on top of it. You always have to be careful what you wish for.

When the team is this pathetic there are no sacred cows. But we all know that
