Royals need some great players but maybe they need to use analytics to get them and develop them.
All I know is I don't want to wait another 30 years for Royals in the World Series.
Thank goodness for the Chiefs!

Baseball Analytics are a little different than NFL analytics. Less established and less proven.
The sample sizes of baseball really make it possible to do meaningful statistical analysis.
I also think the "Chiefs don't use analytics" article you're referencing was a poor example of applying analytics to break out something or review it. Salfino is good, but calling Butker a bad kicker based on 2022 (and not his full-career sample) or talking about bad roster construction while citing Brown and Clark without talking about the good work in the rest of the roster, the analytical decision to spread the Tyreek Hill money/resources to a deeper WR room and improvements elsewhere (I mean, analytics got big in baseball because a smart front office figured out how to replace an expensive star with less expensive parts).
