Owner Goals
John Sherman, now 85, is likely to be disappointed as it is unlikely the Royals can afford to resign Ethan Chafin to any sort of long term contract while the Hometown player acquisition will not be a priority for Stewart.
Finances
I have just decided on your budget for the upcoming season.
You will have $238,000,000 available for the total team expenses. Given your current spending on staff and other costs, this should allow you a team payroll of around $160,000,000.
Minor Leagues
Awards
It was a more successful year for the Farm as the Royals won Manager of the Year Awards from A-AAA through Alan Williams, Miguel Garcia, Robert Donovan, and Peter O'Brien.
At AA, Royals claimed the best bat and arm as Bobby Nickleberry and Ben Lane were recognised, despite both receiving midseason promotions to AAA.
Retirements
The Minor Leagues only saw one former draft pick retire, as 2034 17th round pick RP Jimmy Davis retired from AA.
