The Royals are reaping the benefits of an offseason spending spree

Kansas City spent money in the offseason like a team that was planning on actually competing. So far, so good for the Royals.

As I mentioned in my most recent article here on the SB Nation mothership, my personal rule of thumb when it comes to baseball standings early in the season is that it’s not worth it to stress over results until Memorial Day at the earliest. With that being said, that day is right around the corner and there’s one story in particular that needs to be discussed.
