Alright everyone let's start from the beginning! On today's episode, Javier is joined by recurring guest Rylan Stiles (host of Locked On Royals) to discuss the long process of rebuilding a baseball team. They talk about the beginning of the AJ Preller era, Javi's (still going!) beef with teams that fool people into only hoarding prospects, the big time signings of Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts, the Royals new ownership and upcoming stars like Bobby Witt Jr, what the Padres could do better, and more!
