One thing we're sure of is that the 2018 Royals will look quite different than what we're used to.

How different? We'll see. The big free agents are likely to go elsewhere, but with an opening in Atlanta, Dayton Moore's name has come up again as a candidate for GM. Would he leave Kansas City? Ned Yost is back for 2018, but is there a manager-in-waiting already in the dugout?

And what if the market is shaken up and Eric Hosmer ends up returning?

We discuss all of these topics as well as a check-in about the postseason, as we gear up for a crazy offseason.
