This team is in Rebuild mode and I would not be shocked to see many if not all of the RP moved by the deadline if they are doing well all are over 30
No one really mentioned leaving the team and not much going on here, expect them to be a very beatable team and move some of its assets for AA and AAA prospects that could step in this year and next.
I expect of the 9/10 top prospects at least a few break camp with the team after impressing in spring
Bold Projection
I mean this team may turn heads because of all the young talent thats going to be getting a lot of playing time. But honestly they should continue to sell and rebuild honestly. My bold projection is this is the worst team in the MLB and win less than 60 games again
Fact Check
The team stadium’s namesake was pretty cool. Ewing Kauffman is his name and he’s led a remarkable life. From being bedridden as a child to launching a foundation to help kids afford college, this man has done it all.
They were named after a livestock show. You might have assumed the name “Royals” came from some sort of connection to royalty. But in reality, the team was named after the American Royal livestock show held every year in Kansas City. When the city held the team’s naming contest, some of the alternative submissions were names like “Mules” and “Cowpokes.”

Votto returns to form? Suarez, Sentz ready for the Opening Day?
Vegas Projected Wins
83.5Wins last season:75-87
I think defensively this team got a lot better over the offseason with their additions. I think their offense is stacked barring any injuries. If Joey Bats returns to good form for a 36-year-old. This offense and lineup sucks for anyone to pitch against and game plan for. I think they hit the over on their wins but however they still fight for 3rd in this tough division

Bold Prediction
This team has a front runner for MVP. My guess is Suarez and Aquino. They could end up getting into the playoffs and maybe getting to the divisional round. They are in Win now mode as we can see with their additions. Let's see how they do.
Fact Check
Ken Griffey Jr. (The Kid) has 630 career home runs and 210 of them were here with the Reds. Hit milestone 500th and 600th while with the Reds.
Cincinnati was expelled from the National League in 1880 for continuing to rent out the ballpark on Sundays and for not ceasing to sell beer during games.

Pete Rose:
This wouldn’t be a true Reds show if we didn’t at least mention Pete Rose and the HOF, Keep on reading I am going to do a whole post on the Astors Scandal and how it affects Pete Rose But to summarize Pete Rose needs to be in the HOF
