From 106 losses. To a revamped roster built around the core. To the postseason. On the #Royals turnaround that led to a clinch celebration:

Royals 'cherish' going from 106 losses to improbable Wild Card berth

ATLANTA -- The Royals don’t like talking about last year. This entire season, they’ve insisted that they don’t think about 2023. All that matters, manager Matt Quatraro says, is today.
