2k24: Kansas City Royals

[overkill94]

I've had a bunch of jobs in Kansas City over the last year or so and the people I met were giddy when they gave it a go last year so they must be crapping themselves this year.

Do we have any Royals fans here. I was back in my school days and Mike still uses a Royals player as his site name, but that was back when. Are there any current fans here? Watching their push for the division has got to be a rush.

move is looooooooooong overdue

Mike Moustakas demoted to AAA.

Dyson could be a cheap SB pickup but doesn't offer anything else.

Maxwell has always been kind of frustrating. He really looks the part of a big-league ballplayer but then he goes 0 for 4.

Dyson has always, to me, looked like the kind of guy that could turn into Michael Bourn at any minute. But, his window of opportunity is closing.

Pretty much a guess, but I think Dyson play most days.

So, does Yost play Maxwell every day or does he end up in a timeshare with Jarrod Dyson?

Lorenzo Cain to the DL with a groin strain.

I feel bad for the guy. He just can't stay in the lineup.

Per FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, Tomko will earn $510,000 if he makes it up to the majors. Tomko hasn't pitched in the majors since the 2012 season but was reportedly throwing 92-94 mph in the Dominican Winter League.

This isn't good. From Rotoworld--

"Luke Hochevar has been shut down for at least two weeks due to a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.
Uh oh. The Royals are hoping that Hochevar will be able to return by the end of May, but Tommy John surgery could be a possibility if he fails to make progress. This obviously puts an end to his chances of returning to the rotation and puts Yordano Ventura in good position to win the fifth spot. While the injury is a tough break for Hochevar coming off a dominant season and going into his walk year, the Royals still have good depth in their bullpen."

Another guy who found his niche in the bullpen, then f***ed it up by wanting to start.

MLB.com now reporting that Ned Yost said a return "by the end of May is the best case scenario."

I guess with Infante on board he becomes an expensive extra piece for a team like the Royals.

To fit Chen on the roster, the Royals have DFA'd Emilio Bonifacio.
