The Kansas City Royals are in the middle of a rebuild. We get this. You don’t attempt to win baseball games and also employ the crusty husk of Lucas Duda at the same time, just like you don’t attempt to have fun by riding the Mamba whilst performing your own appendectomy at the same time. As with any rebuild, the question turns to “when will the insert rebuilding team here contend?”
Royals fans have debated this. Recently, Royals Review reader Nopioli wrote a Fanpost about this titled Is 2021 actually doable? Nopioli opined that, and I quote, “2021 is not happening,” but that 2022 is doable if things break right for Kansas City.
