## Resource

The Royals are reeling after a brutal start, tied for worst in baseball at 38-59, and swept in Baltimore — a far cry from preseason expectations. Despite the frustration boiling from players and management, the front office is doubling down on their current roster, eyeing additions over trades at the deadline. They’re treating the All-Star break as a reset, hoping to refocus and turn things around day by day — betting on long-term potential rather than a midseason overhaul.
