Most Expensive Royals Tickets For Remainder Of Season Are Against Indians, Red Sox
The Kansas City Royals realize that the time is now. The window to win a championship only lasts so long, as their young talent is on the verge of getting paydays around the league and quite frankly, they can’t pay everyone. After losing Game 7 in last year’s World Series to the San Francisco Giants, the organization realizes this team is their best chance to get back to the World Series in that window.
The Royals proved they’re all-in by acquiring All-Star pitcher Johnny Cueto from the Cincinnati Reds. Cueto has accumulated a 7-6 record with a 2.62 ERA and an outstanding 0.93 WHIP thus far this season, and gives the Royals a legitimate No. 1 starter in their already strong rotation. Cueto was also tremendous last year, when he would have won the NL Cy Young award had Clayton Kershaw not had an inhuman-like season. As complete a team as any, it may have been the one piece the Royals were missing to have the most complete roster in baseball. Cueto’s WHIP is the fourth-best the game and he ranks in the top-15 in all of baseball in ERA, while also posting his usual high number of strikeouts.
Kansas City (61-38) is in first place of the American League Central division, nine games above the Minnesota Twins. All signs are pointing towards another furious postseason run, but first they must finish their remaining games on the schedule. With secondary market ticket information provided by TiqIQ.com, below are the most expensive regular season Royals tickets for the remainder of the season.
