Maybe it has just become a cliche response from the front office. They ve been claiming the club has been trying to win ball games the last few seasons. Yet, each of the last few seasons, they ve lost more games than they ve won.
But this season seemed different. Dayton Moore had been aggressive in acquiring veteran talent in the offseason and the Royals started this season off with the best record in baseball. The team finally seemed competitive for the first time since 2017. But, the Royals are currently 17-30 over their last 47 games.
