ChiefsPlanet - Royals ***Official 2023 Royals Season Repository Thread***

My brother does a lot of the signage at the K. He is working out there today and said they've got a crew swapping out Nicky Lopez banners, and are on "standby" for others. Based on the designs of the banners and their placements (text on banners that run across multiple players, for example) the only 2 that could get swapped out on the outside of the building are Salvy and Singer.

Probably just them being prepared for anything, but I found that interesting.

The fact that Nicky Lopez banners are a thing is hilarious in itself

Apparently he does a bad job as the Royals are like 28th in ticket sales.

An uproar from people who aren't watching or going to any games? You know what fixes this, competent decisions and a baseball team that wins games.

Does trading Salvy solve that problem? Probably not. It's a simple decision when looked at through a single lens of either a baseball or a business perspective. The problem is combining the two.

Also Melendez needs to catch.

I'm not sure that the Royals can find and then sign a solid starting pitcher.

They won't spend the money on one with a good track record. What really good pitcher would want to come here unless we offered him a $$huge$$ contract?

This year Sherman did not want to sign free agents until the young team showed what they could do.

Now we are so bad, good free agents will NOT want to sign here.

Salvy is worth trading assuming someone gives up a pretty good haul. If the Marlins or White Sox would not part with high level prospects, than the front office made the right decision in not trading him.

I'd rather see Salvy hang around and rewrite the Royals record books than get a crappy relief pitcher in return.
