The current Kansas City Royals front office knows that the team is not good enough to contend and has acted as such. While that seems like it would be given, it is nevertheless a near complete about face from what the previous front office broadcasted about their expectations. After losing 100 games in 2018, previous GM Dayton Moore said that “Our expectations are to win our division.”
Kansas City then lost 103 games the next season. Whoops.
Compare that to what JJ Picollo said about the Royals back last November, before they even played an inning this year.
