## Resource

The Royals aren’t chasing wins—they’re chasing futures. With a 62-76 record and no playoff hopes, they’re turning this stretch into a developmental showcase, giving young stars like Jac Caglianone (23 homers, 66 RBI) and Josh Rojas real run in the lineup. The front office traded vets for prospects, snagging pitching talent from Atlanta and LA, plus first baseman Jacob Berry from Miami. The bullpen’s shifting too—John Schreiber gone to the Yankees via waiver claim—and injuries keep pushing others to step up. Michael Massey’s out with a concussion, Maikel Garcia limps with a hamstring issue, and Tony Gonsolin’s rehabbing after elbow surgery. This isn’t about standings—it’s about building the next team.
