We’re in an era of sports hot takes. Want to yell about sports on TV (or for you younger folks, on social media), have a hot take!
But some hot takes have the benefit of being true. We’re still a few weeks from the Royals season opener against the Braves. Do you have a different take than the conventional wisdom on this team? Thoughts on the lineup? Young hitters Jac Caglianone and Carter Jensen? Superstar Bobby Witt Jr.? The pitching depth? Or maybe a hot take on J.J. Picollo or Matt Quatraro? Maybe you even have a hot take on owner John Sherman or the stadium saga, or the TV deal.

Here are a few hot takes I’ve been saving:
-
The Royals should not trade any starting pitching, they’ll probably need it (there is high injury risk in this rotation!) and they can reevaluate the outfield situation this summer.
-
Lucas Erceg concerns me way more than Carlos Estévez.
-
Bobby Witt Jr. should be hitting leadoff.
-
Matt Quatraro is actually a good manager.
-
Kyle Isbel is way underrated.
-
You can squint and see the Royals as serious contenders for a pennant.
