Who thinks KCMO needs new baseball players on the Royals?
Unfortunately, with the Royals, the problem runs much deeper than a couple of new ballplayers.
I think that the Royals need a new ownership group, or at the very least, they need a serious infusion of capital in order to compete in the American League.
They will never be able to compete with the likes of the Yankees or the Red Sox on a dollar-for-dollar level, but they can invest in their system, and improve their minor-league recruiting and scouting.
Look at how the Braves have built up their farm system and the quality of young players they've been able to bring up to the big leagues, and they've won how many division titles in a row? The Dodgers in their heyday of the '70s and '80s were built through their farm system. It's when they stopped believing in their system and started trying to buy players that they went downhill.
