In the offseason, much had been made about the Royals really trying to compete. A short season, expanded playoffs—the stage was set for the Royals to at least make an attempt for a competitive season.
Fortunately for the Royals, though, the true success of the season rested on their improvement. Coming off back-to-back 100-loss seasons, the bar was low. And, thankfully, they were so bad at everything between 2018-2019 that nearly every facet of baseball was ripe for improvement.
Unfortunately for the Royals, we are now 10 games into the 2020 season and the team isn’t good at any aspect of baseball.
