For many fans of the Kansas City Royals, the years following the 2015 World Series run have been fairly dark. Beloved players have left the team, the race to the playoffs have turned into attempts to not lose 100 games, and the organization and fans have fully accepted that the Royals are in the midst of a full-blown rebuild.
While a rebuild for a small market team after going all-in for a World Series is no surprise to most, many would have hoped for a few more years of decent baseball. It’s difficult to be a fan sometimes during rebuilds.
