After a playoff season in '24, what's the best and worst the '25 season can be?

Rany Jazayerli (Co-Founder Baseball Prospectus/@Jazayerli) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) discuss what it will take for the Royals to actually take a step forward from the massive step they took last season and what could go wrong if the season heads South.

BEST CASE
- MJ Melendez breaks out! 
- Michael Massey hits 30 HR's.
- Joey Wiemer becomes an everyday player.
- Vinnie Pasquantino raps out 50 doubles.
- Maikel Garcia's bat takes a step up.
- Royals acquire an everyday OF at the deadline.
- The bullpen gets a boost.
- Kris Bubic becomes a #2 SP.

WORST CASE
- Injuries rob the Royals of Bobby Witt Jr. or Cole Ragans. 
- Who plays CF if Isbel gets hurt or can't hit?
- Jonathan India doesn't work out.
- Salvy gets old.
- Lack of bullpen depth.
- Vinnie gets hurt.
