Kansas City Royals Offseason Update

The new players signed for 2006 seemed to be very promising; however, that did not result in many victories. The Kansas City Royals were struggling hard through another 100-loss season and became the 11th team in major league history with 100 losing games in three straight seasons. The season was finished with low 0.383% (62 wins and 100 losses), and thus the Royals became only the fifth in the division.

The team is currently facing some problems connected with losing in the past few seasons; one of the problems, often cited by commentators, is lack of financial support from the owner of the team David Glass. The franchise and its owner had controversy off the field, when the Royals revoked the credentials of two radio journalists at the press conference introducing Dayton Moore, new general manager.

The Kansas City Royals enter the 2007 season looking forward to recovering from four out of five seasons ending with 100 defeats. The team’s fans are waiting for the arrival of top prospect Alex Gordon during the next season.

The first changes to the 2007 rooster were made on January 3: infielder Jeff Keppinger was designated for assignment. On January 10, the Kansas City Royals acquired the rights to right-handed pitcher Russ Haltiwanger from the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for infielder Jeff Keppinger. The following day, a one-year contract was signed with left-handed pitcher Jimmy Gobble. On January 12, the team signed Alex S. Gonzalez to a Minor League contract.

In 2007, the Kansas City Royals’ games will be broadcast on both WHB and KCXM, depending on the game schedule.
