Royals bid for repeat performance and then some. A preview via the SportsBeat KC podcast
For the first time in a decade, the Royals are coming off a playoff appearance.
Suffice to say that hopes for this season are high.
In this installment of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast, columnist Vahe Gregorian and beat writer Jaylon Thompson break down the team’s prospects with host Blair Kerkhoff.
The Royals’ promise is a product of having stars like Bobby Witt Jr., Salvador Perez, Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo on board. But questions remain for this team.
Is there enough pop in the lineup? Who is the fifth starter? When could we see top prospect Jac Caglianone in the majors?
We discuss these topics and more as opening day — Thursday, March 27, for the record — approaches.
