Have they done enough to win the division?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Kansas City Royals fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Spring training has begun and in just six weeks the Royals will begin the regular season. They improved by 30 games last year, finishing tied for second in the division with the Tigers, 6.5 games back of the Guardians.
