By turning the serious business of rally driving into an exciting, glitzy, multi-discipline showcase, it opened up the brand to a wider (read: American) audience while retaining the core challenge and refined design that made the series such a success in the first place.

Jeff Passan: "If the Royals announced today that they were signing Brady Singer, Bobby Witt Jr., MJ Melendez, and Vinnie Pasquantino to long term deals, it would be a step in the right direction."- Soren Petro October 13, 2022 Strider and Austin Riley don’t come from poverty, and yet they signed long-term extensions. Tatis for example comes from money (his dad played in the Majors, like Witt) and he signed a 14-year extension. I understand the sentiment and see why it makes sense, but I also think it can be a lazy and somewhat dangerous train of thought as well (dangerous mostly on the “racist” end). Now, a lot of people are saying that Witt will not sign an extension mostly because Witt comes from an affluent background, unlike players from Latin America, like Franco, who come from more “impoverished” backgrounds and thus “need the money” more. Kevin O’Brien at Royals Reporter considers some extension candidates for the Royals. That kind of player will be expensive, but the Royals can afford to do it. They should be aggressive in identifying players on the market who would help not only in the short-term but in three to four years.
