2024 Kansas City Royals season

Major League Baseball team season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024 Kansas City Royals season was the 56th season for the franchise, and their 52nd at Kauffman Stadium. It was also the team's second season under the management of Matt Quatraro. The season was a major improvement for the Royals; after finishing with only 56 wins and 106 losses in 2023, the second-worst during the Major League Baseball season just behind the Oakland Athletics, the 2024 Royals won their 56th game on July 2, and won 86 games total, 30 more than the previous season. The 2024 Royals were one of only six teams since 1969 to achieve a season-to-season improvement of 30 wins.[1] The Royals made MLB history with the biggest turnaround in two seasons.

On September 14, the Royals secured their first winning record since the World Series-winning 2015 team. On September 27, they clinched a postseason berth for the first time since 2015 when the Minnesota Twins lost to the Baltimore Orioles.[2] They swept the Orioles in the 2024 American League Wild Card Series, a rematch of the 2014 American League Championship Series, which the Royals won in a four-game sweep. They were then defeated by the New York Yankees in the American League Division Series in four games, the first postseason matchup between the two since the 1980 ALCS.

Offseason

The Royals in 2023 finished 56–106, nine games worse than their 65–97 record in 2022.
