Kansas City Royals’ Bobby Witt Jr. Sends Message After 8th Straight Loss
Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. had a message after facing backlash from fans.
The Kansas City Royals are running out of ways to explain their early-season slide. Kansas City entered Tuesday tied with the New York Mets for the worst record in baseball at 8-15, and their eight-game losing streak has only intensified the frustration surrounding a team expected to take a step forward in 2026 and make the MLB playoffs. The offense has been terrible, the pitching has been inconsistent, and the fan base has made its displeasure known.
After Monday’s loss, Bobby Witt Jr. did not shy away from addressing the reaction inside Kauffman Stadium. "Yeah it sucks.
But if you're the worst team in baseball, you might deserve to get booed every once in a while. It should motivate us to get better. Just motivate us to go out there and lay it all on the field each and every night,” Witt said (h/t Jaylon T.
