For the Kansas City Royals, they will be entering the 2019 offseason following another 100-loss season. At the beginning of the season, they were projected to finish with a 63-96 record but their pitching staff made sure all hopes of doing so were immediately rejected. The team attempted to bring in free agents like Billy Hamilton, Chris Owings, and Lucas Duda last offseason and not one of them lasted longer than August 16 on the roster.
For as bad as they played in the first half of the season (30-61), the team showed remarkable improvement in the second half (29-42), which was primarily highlighted by the breakout season of Jorge Soler.
