What happened: Kansas City credited supporters for bringing passion from the opener through the finale. The club looks forward to reuniting with fans next season.

Why it matters: The finish left Kansas City outside the 2026 postseason. A bullpen slide and the reassignment of hitting coach Alec Zumwalt frame an offseason reset.

By the numbers: Kansas City finished 69-93. Relief WAR dropped from 4.1 to minus-3.2.

What to watch: Watch for offseason roster and staff moves ahead of spring camp.
