The Royals have dropped 100 losses in a season for the fifth time in franchise history, and yet, has there ever been a 100-loss season that left fans with so much hope? Despite a dreadful start, the Royals were able to play much better in the second half and have won 15 of their last 27. And those wins have been highlighted by young players that are part of the future, players like Adalberto Mondesi, Ryan O’Hearn, and Brad Keller.
You could argue that this season has gone about as well as you could have hoped, considering this was a rebuilding year anyway.
