2016 Royals Season Preview
The Kansas City Royals came into last season with unfinished business, and bullied their way to their first World Series title since 1985. The victory came with their first AL Central Pennant in over 25 years, and kept baseball fury alive in Kansas City. The Royals return in 2016, with their sights set on cementing their legacy. The core of the Royals 2 AL title teams, and their World Series club from a year ago returns, with Kansas City locking down Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain to long term deals in the offseason. While the Royals now iconic bullpen is largely intact, the Crowns will rely on Edison Volquez to move into the ace spot in their rotation, and newcomer Ian Kennedy ads another veteran arm. Winning back to back World Series titles hasn’t been done in over a decade. But the 2016 Kansas City Royals have the pluck and experience to break that trend. Kansas City Royals ticket prices reflect this optimism, with Royals opening day tickets toping the charts for 2016.
