@cgibbs251 @cdotharrison Don’t overthink this

[Sam @samlightner11]

@KCGOAT87 We’re 23-38 in June…idc who’s coaching the team nobody recovers from this. It’s time to sell and regroup for next season.

[Sam @samlightner11]

@LxLxFredo @HoodiPat So I hope they mix it up

[Sam @samlightner11]

No disrespect but it’s hard to trust a manager who looks at Erceg as the better pitcher this season. If Lynch had 15 saves right now he would be the hottest LHP on the market. But instead he only has 1 while Erceg has a league leading 6 blow saves. The trust in Q is practically 0

[Greg @LxLxFredo]

@samlightner11 @ChanceLiebau Ill trust that they know Lynch and his potential better than you. No team would be looking at him as a closer

[Sam @samlightner11]

@LxLxFredo Pre 2026 he was our best bullpen arm, but Chance said it best here.

[Chance Liebau @ChanceLiebau]

Matt Quatraro's biggest issue is that he believes too much of what he has SEEN, not what he is SEEING. He still believes that, because they've done it before, that:

Erceg can pitch in the clutch
Vinnie/Salvy can hit 3-4

And why it took him so long to give up on MJ/Renfroe.

@SleeperMLB @SleeperPirates 1. Bobby Witt Jr
2. Paul Skenes
3. Kevin McGonigle
4. Drake Baldwin
5. James Wood

@KCRoyalsMuse You do realize your team has to be somewhat decent right? Very rarely does a player win it on the worst team in the league.

[Sam @samlightner11]

@ChanceLiebau But if he exceeds in the closer roll his trade value skyrockets. Is it just because the Royals don’t want to take that risk? Is his trade value even that high currently?

[Sam @samlightner11]

@Chabotsports Give Lynch a try and if all else fails keep calling up guys from Omaha who actually want the opportunity more.

@Chabotsports No fight left

@Wittman7 @Chabotsports Btw if you take away the shortened season World Series and the 2024/2025 bought championships their last World Series year was 1988 lol

[Sam @samlightner11]

@Wittman7 @Chabotsports 1. It was the shortened Covid season

2. Their team leader in WAR was literally Mookie Betts (not homegrown)

3. The Dodgers were a good team that consistently made the playoffs but here’s the Dodgers active payroll by year for reference

2020- 125 million
2025- 350 million

[Sam @samlightner11]

@Chabotsports This was literally my first thought on this trade lol

[Sam @samlightner11]

@wcwhotline9900 @rock_climber02 That was the point I was trying to make lol but correct

[Sam @samlightner11]

@RoyalsWeekly That was the story of 2023 🤷‍♂️

[Sam @samlightner11]

@Royals @BrettRasdall @kcroyalstv Keep Garcia batting third
