First off, this piece is not meant to highlight the losing season the KC Royals have had so far. Rather, it is to explain in my opinion on how a World Series Championship team was able to fall into such an unfortunate position just two seasons later.
The Kansas City Royals 2017 is all but down the drain. The offense is bad, the bullpen is not the best, and the offense is bad again. After coming off an 81-81 season mostly depleted by injuries. The KC Royals were confident in their 2017 roster to put together another postseason run.
