SCCWS Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Royals went from 106 losses in 2023 to knocking out Orioles in 1st round in 2024. Maybe we can have a much better start in 2025. But that takes major changes and a bankroll to pay for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also had some great farm players who had played in previous seasons and took their lumps ready to break out. We benched ours for guys like Tommy Pham and Nicky Lopez. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WBWSF Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 4 teams in the AL Central fought to get into the 2024 Playoffs. The only team to draw 2 million fans was Cleveland. The Orioles had thousands of empty seats at there game last night. Evidently these fan bases weren't too excited about there teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Don't hold your breath. As much as this org is obsessed with being the Royals, KC can actually draft and develop. If the Sox can go from 121 losses to *only* 106 losses in 2025 I'd consider that a small miracle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but neither KC or the Angels of 15 years ago were as toxic and archaic as the Sox are now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will depend on what they do with Crochet and Robert, but if they're both gone and this team signs no one of significance in FA then its going to be just as bad as 2024.

That was truly shocking to see so many open seats at a playoff game. And it wasn’t even one of those weird super early starts either. What’s wrong with Orioles fans??

If the Sox finish 1 or 2 games under .500 against each the Royals, Tigers, and Twins (I think even 3 or 4 for one of those teams), I’m pretty sure Guardians are the only ALC team in the postseason.
