The Dodgers win their 8th World Series, and first of this series (and therefore since 2020).
Kansas City Postseason Stats
It was a successful post season for the Royals with only Jeremy Rogerson really disappointing although Billy Mumaugh may wish he had given more to the cause.
Owner Goal Review
Team Record:
I told you before the season I expected no less than a playoff appearance, and you did deliver that. You even went beyond expectations and nearly won it all. I'm very happy about that!
Extend your player:
Good job signing Jeremy Sidener to an extension. We'd kick ourselves, if we'd ever let him get away.
Acquire a player:
I'm not going to beat around the bush. As I said before, I need you to bolster our roster by acquiring a Hometown player. I've been patient. But I won't be patient forever. If I have to, I'll find someone else to get the job done.
Build your farm:
I am very impressed with the prospect pool you have built up here. I was only looking to become a top-6 team, and you've gone above and beyond. As we continue to improve the team, keeping a fully stocked farm team will make your task easy going forward.
Improve your fan interest:
The fans aren't much more engaged than when I set this goal. Let's keep working with them.
Improve your team record:
There's room for improvement in close games.
Long Term:
You made the playoffs. I had set out a longer vision to bring a championship to Kansas City by 2043, and that time isn't up yet. You do know it's been 23 years since this franchise has won? That may not be as bad as some teams, but I think the fans are starting to wonder when the next one will come.
I am happy with your performance in accomplishing the goals I have given you. However, when I consider the on- and off-field success of the team, my overall mood with your performance is very happy.
