The Kansas City Royals are mostly running it back next year. Their makeup will be similar: through pitching strength, the singular talent of Bobby Witt Jr., and enough competence elsewhere on the diamond, Kansas City will be consistently competitive and try to keep games to a low score.
“Enough competence elsewhere on the diamond” will be hard to come by, however. Yes, you can probably rely on Salvador Perez, Jonathan India, and Vinnie Pasquantino to be reasonably productive at the plate, and you can rely on Kyle Isbel to provide great defense in center field. Beyond that, there are question marks everywhere.
