The one good thing the Royals will be able to say about the 2017 season when it's over is that they were the ones to end Cleveland's historic win streak. Otherwise, the future looks grim for KC since all of their good players are leaving this offseason and they foolishly traded away their mediocre at best farm to try and get to the playoffs this season. Enjoy irrelevance. And now, here's the starting 9 for your Tribe:
