The Royals season is completed and somehow us fans survived watching 104 losses, the second-worst season in franchise history. We brought our team of writers to discuss the season that was and look forward to the off-season and beyond.
For a 104-loss season, people seem pretty upbeat about this team. Was this a successful season?
Matthew LaMar: Hugely successful. It A) convinced everyone that the rebuild was truly something that needed to happen, B) secured a top-three pick (at #2 behind a historically inept Orioles team), and C) featured two out-of-nowhere young successes in O’Hearn and Mondesi
Sean Thonrton: I think it all matters on what your expectations were going into the season.
