2023 – A new beginning for the Royals. Matt Quatraro era begins. A year to see which of our young players will make up the core going forward. Can Bobby Witt Jr become a superstar SS or will go to the hot corner? Will Brady Singer take the next step forward? Will Salvy be Salvy? Will Big Vin or Pratto take first base? Will they find a position for MJ? Who else emerges from the youth movement? Not to mention the development of the new downtown stadium.

He literally had a quote saying they didn't want guys 3-4 years away...he's just like Dayton obsessed with getting guys back that are "ready" says to me they don't trust their system.

Yes, Hearn was acquired last week by the Braves for cash considerations.

In a search for more starting pitching, the Los Angeles Dodgers checked in on Royals pitcher Brady Singer, according to a report by Jack Harris and Jorge Castillo at the Los Angeles Times. However they add that “no traction toward a deal has materialized.” The 26-year-old right-hander has a 5.46 ERA in 21 starts for the Royals. He is under club control through the 2026 season.

I'd move Singer for a good return.

Mecca was no where to be found when they won all weekend. Shocker.

The Royals scored 4 runs in 2 innings off this guy in April. Guess Sweeney saw something lol. Sad return for Nicky.

Freddy Fermin, the best 2nd string catcher in the bigs, he is a gamer

dlphg9 · 07-30-2023, 05:53 PM

I'm ready for JJ to be gone. The guy is Dayton Moore. The fact that nothing changed in the front office should have ruled him out to begin with. JJ is shit.

Mecca · 07-30-2023, 05:56 PM

He doesn't know what he's doing,if they dug Taylor Hearn why didn't they just pay the cash for him a week ago?

He is, love him. He's always talking about working hard. Reminds me of a certain 2nd baseman for the Mets in the early 70s "if Chico work hard, berry berry hard, Chico make team"

JJ Picollo warned us with his comments about wanting "major-league ready" players, but holy crap, this is even worse than I thought.

Taylor Hearn has as much service time as Nicky Lopez (3+ years), has a 5.26 career ERA, and the Braves JUST PURCHASED HIM FROM TEXAS SIX DAYS AGO. https://t.co/QmDJyp9uWW

Lopez trade opens up playing time for Samad Taylor now. Clears a path of Nick Loftin as well for next season.

Lopez had no ****ing value on the trade market was pretty obvious. People just love to jack off to some minor league prospects who more than likely won't be even be good as the turd they acquired. Royals twitter is pretty much the only place where there is any uproar over this trade.
