The Royals achieved three of the four owner goals over the season – they reached the playoffs, with an extended Mason Barnett and improved their stolen bases from 12th to 11th. Edgar Manzo (2026) was the first International Amateur promoted to the Big Leagues, contributing 0.1 WAR as a September call up, but he was signed the year before Stewart arrived.

Fan Interest has increased to 81 so is on track for a 2035 goal, while reaching the World Series shows progress towards the ultimate World Series-winning goal for that year.
