As the Kansas City Royals gear up for the 2025 season, the excitement is palpable with pitchers and catchers already in Arizona. With the Opening Day roster looming, it's time to dive into some predictions and discussions that could shape the narrative of the season.
First off, let's talk about the infield situation. With the acquisition of Jonathan India, how do you see the dynamics shifting? Will Michael Massey find a way to stay relevant, or is this the beginning of a positional shuffle that could see both players learning new positions? Could we see a scenario where both end up in the outfield?
And what about the outfield depth? The Royals have a mix of established players and intriguing prospects. Joey Wiemer is generating buzz with his power/speed combo, but can he make enough contact to secure a spot? Who do you think will emerge as the standout outfielder this season?
On the pitching front, the competition for the final rotation spot is heating up. With Alec Marsh, Kris Bubic, and Kyle Wright all vying for a chance, who do you think has the edge? Will the Royals take a cautious approach with Bubic given his injury history, or will they throw him into the mix right away?
And let's not forget about the bullpen. With Carlos Estévez and Lucas Erceg expected to play key roles, how do you see the rest of the bullpen shaping up? Will Chris Stratton bounce back from a disappointing season, or is it time for the Royals to cut ties?
Bold prediction time: I believe the Royals will make a surprising trade before the season starts, potentially moving Carlos Hernández to clear space for a non-roster invitee like Cavan Biggio. What are your thoughts on this?
As we gear up for the season, I want to hear your predictions for the Opening Day roster. Who do you think will make the cut, and who might be left out? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
