Preseason & Spring Training

The Royals survive Preseason injury free, and start Spring Training 3-0 but lose Juan Anaya for the start of the season to injury. Beyond that it is the usual opportunity to give innings and at bats to all members of the 42-man roster, with one Non-roster invite in C Dave Forester.

Transactions

As expected, the Royals completed their International Amateur class this month, bringing in four more players for a final class of 5 in 2048.

In addition, the Royals were informed that Curt Bogans signed a Major League contract with Tampa Bay for one year at $1.44m; the Royals wish him a healthy season but the lack of fan reaction suggests this was a sad, but sensible decision.
