I feel really bad for Royals fans. They deserve much better than this. What was once a proud, winning franchise has become a laughing stock. Well, they've been terrible for a while now, I suppose.
It's a joke. It's a joke that the owner's would run a team like this, and it's a joke that MLB would allow it. I love baseball. Love it. Absolutely my favorite sport. Love MLB, even with the bullsh1t. However, one of my biggest gripes is the fact that this can happen. How can a team be so cheap and run so poorly? How can there be teams like this, and like Tampa, Colorado, & Pittsburgh. Milwaukee can be thrown in the mix, but they've shown some amazing signs recently. Point is, these teams shouldn't be perennial losers. Teams that can safely be eliminated from post-season play long before the season even starts. How is this allowed? WHY is this allowed? Isn't there a soft salary cap in baseball? There needs to be a rule saying that ALL MLB teams must spend AT LEAST 60% (this year roughly $72 million) of the cap, or they get fined. Something needs to be done.
