We all knew the 2018 Royals would be a bad baseball team. With two of their best players departing in free agency, trading away two of their best relievers, and several early season injuries that depleted the team even further, it was clear this team would take a huge fall after a still below-average 2017 squad. But I would still guess most of us didn’t vision the Royals being this bad. To sample, if you simply take a look at the predictions from the Royals Review staff, you’ll see that most of the general consensus of this group thought the Royals were going to be a 70-75 win team that even had a legit chance at a third place finish in the division.
