The Royals and Tigers face off this weekend in Detroit with two of the three worst records in the American League (thanks Athletics!). Both teams were expecting to be further along in their rebuilds than this, and a recent column at Yahoo Sports! asks whether or not the teams should just admit the rebuild has turned into just plain losing.
But perhaps brighter days are ahead for the boys in blue. Bobby Witt Jr. is catching fire (.316/.365/.566 over his last 20 games), MJ Melendez has been solid, and Vinnie Pasquantino is now up. Even Kyle Isbel and Edward Olivares are hitting well.
