It has been a slow off-season for the Royals so far, but things could pick up next week as teams meet for the Winter Meetings. I thought it might be a good time to solicit questions and discuss topics among the Royals fanbase, everything from the pitching coach search to the hot stove to downtown baseball.
This was the most-asked question, and we got our answer this week when the Royals hired Guardians bullpen coach Brian Sweeney. The move makes a lot of sense - the Guardians are a pretty logical organization to poach from since they have been incredibly productive at developing pitchers on a budget, and owner John Sherman has an obvious connection there.
