Patrick Mahomes Reacts to Kansas City Royals’ Big Season on ‘X’

On Thursday, the Kansas City Royals were eliminated from the American League Division Series by the New York Yankees. The Royals lost in four games, without winning any of their home games at Kauffman Stadium.

Despite the loss, it was a remarkable season for the Royals, who reached the playoffs for the first time since 2015. Also, Kansas City bounced back from a terrible 106-loss campaign in 2023 to win two of the ALCS.

The additions of Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha to the rotation certainly helped fuel the turnaround, as did the new emergences of Cole Ragans and Bobby Witt Jr., who both made the All-Star team.

After the loss, Kansas City icon, Chiefs quarterback, Royals fan and co-owner Patrick Mahomes took to social media to express his feelings about the Royals’ season.

Mahomes went viral for his reaction to the Royals scoring a run in Game 3 of the series, which he attended. Given his ownership stake, he’s certainly invested in the success of the Royals and has struck up a friendship with Witt Jr.

Heading into 2025, the Royals will undoubtedly be a contender in the American League Central again. They will need to figure out how to help the starting rotation even more and could probably use another bullpen arm in the afternoon. Additionally, they must figure out how to complement the offense beyond Witt Jr., Salvador Perez and Vinnie Pasquantino.

As for the Yankees, they are in the ALCS, where they will meet either the Cleveland Guardians or the Detroit Tigers. This ALCS will start on Monday night.
