MLB 2025

It really does suck that the Royals have two of the best young players in the game and are probably not going to be able to keep them and/or put enough around them to be competitive.

 
The Mets currently have:

The NL's leader in OBP
The #2 and #3 run scorers in the NL
The #2 and t-3 RBI men in the NL
The guy t-3 in doubles in the NL
The guy t-3 in WAR in the NL
The #3 and #4 home run hitters in the NL
The #4 and #5 slugging percentage leaders in the NL
The #3 and #5 OPS leaders in the NL
The #8 and #10 hit leaders in the NL
The NL's leader in walks
The only 30-30 guy in the NL - and he's 40-30
The only NL team to have four guys hit 24+ home runs

.... and they are barely clinging to a playoff spot.

Both of these guys are amazing. I never heard of that first basemen until this year, and was like "wow".

As for Witt Jr, - his daddy and family have sat directly in the pew in front of me and behind me at Sunday Mass, more than a dozen times in ten years. Including Junior when he was in High School. Really nice fam.

They already extended Witt and made the playoffs with him last year. I would call that being competitive. This year, the Royals were very well into contention until their starting rotation exploded with injuries.

For the first time in a long time I’m actually confident the Royals can string together a handful of competitive years in a row. And if they do that, their best pitching projects are low A/High A and would be on the horizon to take over at that time💪

We need to find a right handed outfield bat though. And better middle relief for next year.

Awesome! Yeah I mentioned Pasquantino at 1st base, but also know Bobby Witt SR pretty well and payed attention to Witt JR ever since he played ball at the HS one mile away from my house. The 2nd basemen was Rusty Greer's son Mason. Fun times watching them grow.

Witt and Greer were both former TX Rangers.

That’s pretty cool. Bobby seems like a great fit for the city. The city has embraced him and it seems like he tries to be a part of the community which is awesome.
I like that we have players around him now so he doesn’t feel like the weight of the team is all in his shoulders.

I really believe that is something Alex G carried and stunted his early years. Too much pressure as a young player.
