Owner Goals
Team Record:
I'm very excited by how the team has performed so far. If you keep up this rate, I have no doubt that you will win the championship like I asked you to!
Extend your player:
I thought I had made it clear that I wanted Juan Minnelli signed to an extension. He is a very talented player and I am very disappointed with your decision to part with him.
During our time working together, I have been happy with your progress towards the goals I have set out for you. Considering your current and past successes, I am ecstatic with your overall performance. It's important to have success on-field and in the boardroom, and you seem to be on that path.
The final evaluation towards these goals will come at the end of the season. Good luck in the second half!

What the All-Star Game is to major league standouts, the MLB Prospects Game is to up-and-coming prospects. The recent clash pitted future stars against each other, shining a bright light on the game's next phenoms.
19-year-old Bernalldino Igrejas was named the game's MVP for his outstanding performance. He called it "a dream come true and a game I'll never forget."
2047 Draft
After their record-setting 2046 season the Royals would once again be picking at the end of the draft, albeit with two supplementary picks having given Juan Minnelli and Chris Kuehn QOs that were declined. That meant that the one pick in the top 34 became three picks in the top 37.
With their first pick, the Royals select a plus defense, plus speed high school SS out of Kentucky. Dan Arango projects to have plus contact, and gap, with above average power, and eye with Scouting Director Christensen observing that Arango has ‘the talent to flourish in the majors’.
The Royals came into the draft with plenty of budget room and took advantage of that with their first supplementary pick, high school 1B Steve Pelliccio. Pelliccio shows no defensive prowess, or speed, but projects to have plus contact and power with a leader personality. He will be overpaid with his $8.5m signing bonus but the Royals have the money and take the risk.
Their final supplementary pick goes on an 18-year-old SP out of Georgia. Randy Wambolt has a great personality with high stamina and ability to hold runners. While his control only projects as average, he has the potential for plus HRA and stuff, with two potential plus-plus pitches to go with a plus fastball that could sit north of 95 MPH.
Round 1, Pick 34 - SS Dan Arango, age 17 out of high school
Round 1 (Suppl.), Pick 2 - 1B Steve Pelliccio, age 18 out of high school
Round 1 (Suppl.), Pick 3 - SP Randy Wambolt, age 18 out of high school
Round 2, Pick 33 - CF Joe Johnson, age 18 out of high school
Round 3, Pick 30 - CF Luis Saldua, age 18 out of high school
Round 4, Pick 29 - SS Ben Puls, age 18 out of high school
Round 5, Pick 30 - 3B Zach Cavanaugh, age 17 out of high school
The Royals will sign at least 20 of their 22-player class, with their 8th and 15th round picks both demanding signing bonuses which the Royals will make a design on post trade deadline. 9th and 12th round RP picks, Ethan Del Moral and Mike Steward will start in A ball while the rest of the class will wait until 2048 to make their professional debuts.
