Let’s get it out of the way early: the 2024 Kansas City Royals — as the roster stands right now — aren’t likely to make the playoffs. The recent flurry of free-agent additions has sparked the fanbase in ways we haven’t seen in quite some time. Fans are optimistic and whispers of competing as early as next season have already begun. While the roster is vastly improved, I don’t believe it’s good enough right now to make a run at the playoffs. The possibility is certainly there though. Six weeks ago, the notion that the Royals would compete for the division would’ve been laughable.
The 2024 Royals roster looks immensely better, but what about beyond?
