The New Zealand-born singer-songwriter first released “Royals” as a free download (which is almost impossible to believe at this point), and it didn’t take long before she and those she works with realized they had something truly special on their hands. The odd pop song quickly made its way onto singles charts all around the world, and over a period of months, it worked its way up, eventually peaking at No. 1 in the U.S., the U.K., her home country, and many other territories.
Five years after the Royals were lauded for snagging four college pitchers among the first 40 picks in the 2018 draft, Kansas City is joining the 1962 Mets among the worst rotations in history. Signed for $9.7 million in bonuses, Brady Singer, Jackson Kowar, Daniel Lynch and Kris Bubic have struggled to meet expectations. Combined in their careers they are 42–82, including 5–11 with a 5.44 ERA this year. All have above-average career walk rates except Singer, who is slightly below 3.3 walks per nine innings. The single earned Lorde three Grammy nominations (in addition to her album being nominated as well), and she took home Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Vocal Performance.
“Royals” is now one of three singles that have earned diamond certifications in 2017 alone. The first to do so was Katy Perry’s “Roar,” which became her third track to reach the important milestone. Ed Sheeran followed just a few months later with his biggest hit to date (at least by some metrics), “Thinking Out Loud,” which became his first diamond-certified anything in the U.S.
Oakland’s steep decline from 86 wins just two years ago seems an intentional lack of commitment toward getting either the city of Oakland or Las Vegas to pony up money for a ballpark. Kansas City’s slow decline from its 2015 World Series championship is an abject failure of player development—and a reminder that as the MLB draft approaches, the flowery praise heaped upon pitching prospects almost never matches the outcome.
