The Royals offense and season goes out with a whimper, falling 3-1 to the Yankees

Had every Kansas City Royals fan been asked how they would feel if the 2024 season ended with a loss to the New York Yankees in the American League Divisional Series, we would have all taken it in a heartbeat. Fangraphs projected 75 wins for Kansas City this season, a significant 19-game improvement off their 56 in 2023, but still 12-games under .500. Only one of 12 Royals Review staff writers (a blog for Royals fans!) predicted a winning season.

Winning 86 games, leading the American League Central in late August, and reaching the postseason was a huge accomplishment.
