I'm sure there's an underlying issue that Royce is too proud to admit. He can't be unaware.. if his body is that banged up he shouldn't be playing but healing. Guess I'd add Joe Ryan to that same category.. he learned the lesson about Playing Through It in 2023. He needs to be healed and ready for 2024, even if it isn't until May. No halfway crap.
Correa, Pablo, Ober, Ryan, Buck, Jax. Maybe Wallner and Duran. There's your core to build around.
Castro, Vazquez, Lewis, Sim, Topa, Festa, Alcala, Larnach. Maybe Miranda, Stewart and Paddack, maybe not. Probably not Jeffers or Julien. There's your supporting cast.
Emmy Rodriguez, Zebby, Keaschall, Camargo, Eeles. There's your exciting up and comers.
