That's one year dude, sorry but you guys haven't been relevant in ages and its not changing any time soon. Your ownership will never allow you success. IMO your only hope is to develop through the farm system but the Royals can't develop power hitters, and when was the last time they were able to produce a major league starter other than Greinke? I'm really not trying to be a dick, its just a sad fact that the Royals are the worst franchise in sports. one more year of Shields and then its back to 100 loss seasons.

Yordano Ventura #5 starter rookie throws ~102 MPH maintains through game in upper 90's, not even his best pith because his changeup and curveball have 20-30 mph difference from fastball

Kyle Zimmer (After all-star break, trying to control service time) Bruce Chen will be moved to bullpen or traded at All-star break

Most of the stuff you said is fair. However,

the Royals are the worst franchise in sports.

They are certainly in the debate, but I don't think very many would say they are the very worst. You'd be more accurate to say they are the worst in the MLB, because there are some very bad franchises in the NBA and NFL.

one more year of Shields and then its back to 100 loss seasons.

I'm a pessimist, but I highly doubt the royals will be in 100 loss form any time soon. That was a bad, bad situation when that was happening, and I don't imagine it will be repeated within 10 years.
