Kansas City, Missouri – The Kansas City Royals don land big news for dia fans as dem dey expect say dia nine-time All-Star catcher, Salvador Perez, go return for the next season. E get much pride to dey represent the team, and e talk say dia goals no change – dem wan make playoffs again after the wahala of recent season.
Manager Matt Quatraro don carry hin mind put for the plan as e yan during wrap-up conference, “I get plenty pride and gratitude for dis position, to lead dis team. But I dey also feel down, because we no dey play anymore. We sabi say we fit do am, our expectations high.” (No be small wah). Last season, dem nearly hit dem target, but injuries plus vanilla offense no gree dem jom flat tire.
As di general manager J.J. Picollo dey talk, dem fit keep most of the coaching staff intact from dis season where dem finish with 82-80 – back-to-back winning season no be joke! Dem fit make some changes for hitting side, but dem go still bring back Alec Zumwalt to spearhead dia offense. I just hope say dis time, dem no go jam dem head for wall again.
Perez, who go soon clock 36, don show say age no dey slow am down as e still manage hit 30 homers and manage 100 RBIs, even though hin batting average flat like my old phone screen – just .236. Na true say Royals dey value hin leadership pass hin numbers, especially as hin dey mentor young stars like वाला जिन्हे अभी निया में खेलना है.
The Royals get $13.5 million option for Perez; based on wetin Picollo talk, e clear say dem don begin discuss how to keep am for house, whether na to carry the option or renegotiate contract wey fit give Perez some comfort and security.
For di rest of di lineup, e no bad o! Dem solid across di infield, with All-Star third baseman and shortstop dey shine. We still get first baseman wey don hammer 32 homers and 113 runs. Na good sign say dem dey expand dem outfield options, but left field still dey look like deserted territory as di offense no dey steady.
On di pitching side, Royals get some wahala to settle. Some major players miss injury, but some of dem return like ogbonge boss. Even with dem missing time, deh still gree say di rotation go still dey strong, especially with names like Ragans dey hold ground.
Finally, di bullpen. Na from here Royals dey shine! Dem save plenty games, and di team wan bring back dem strong finish for next season. If dem fit keep di players fit and strike di balance for offense, who know? Dem fit become dark horse for di AL Central crown come 2026.
So, watch out! Perez dey ready; Kansas City Royals dey ready. Na wah! Time go tell if dem fit turn dis season’s lessons into success. Who no like better thing?
