Kansas City Royals History

2020: 7th Central Division (19-41)
The are still in rebuild mode, but they are progressing. The   patience is paying off as some of their young talent are starting to develop, with more on the horizon.

2019: 4th in AL Central (53-103)
The concentrated on more acquiring prospects and simply relying on the current veterans who were under contract.  There is a good mix of talent on the roster.  MLB caliber prospects are what everyone seeks in a rebuild, and it seems like the roster has some budding players who are going to be reliable contributors to future success.

2018: 5th in AL Central (44-118)
This was a bit of a transitional year for the . Sifting through an inherited roster that is suffering from neglect is an unenviable challenge.  But the new GM made some trades, bought out some contracts, and simply released some players throughout the season.  In doing so, however, a rebuilding plan was initiated that was committed to acquiring young talent.

2017: 5th in AL Central (64-98)

2016: 5th in AL Central (64-98)

2015: 5th in AL Central (64-98)

2014: 5th in AL Central (64-98)

2013: 5th in AL Central (64-98)

2012: 2nd in AL Central (89-71)
The lineup featured David Wright and Mike Moustakas and its rotation relied on Tim Hudson.  But there were some holes throughout the roster that need to be filled if the expect to make a run to the playoffs.

2011: 2nd in AL Central (91-71)
Freddy turned around the Royals thanks to the acquisition of Prince Fielder.  Solid performance all around kept the surprising Royals on top of the AL Central for much of the season.  Only in the last week did Kansas City fall to Cleveland to finish 2nd in the division and miss the playoffs.

2010: 5th in AL Central (64-98)
The off-season brought a new GM, Kyle Miller, who made a few trades with some NL Central teams to bring in prospects and depth.  Unfortunately, he fell asleep at the wheel and didn't sign players before the deadline.  He was replaced in the middle of free agency with Freddy Wander.

Freddy decided to put in his own three year rebuilding plan.  Many contracts expiring in 2010 and 2011 went in an out the door including the likes of Billy Butler.  In return, Freddy built one of the top three farm systems in the league with many of those prospects knocking on the door of the majors.

2009: 3rd in AL Central (75-87)
I suppose you could call it a promising campaign when the Royals aren't in last place.  Jason did nothing to help the team, but the solid core of players such as Zach Grienke and Billy Butler kept this team afloat going into an uncertain off-season.
