Major League Baseball kicked off its season this week with four Trojans on Opening Day 25-man rosters. Representing the Trojan Family are Brad Boxberger (Rays), Ian Kennedy (Royals), Tommy Milone (Twins) and Lucas Duda (Mets).
Kennedy (pictured below by Joe Camporeale, USA TODAY Sports) joined the reigning World Series Champions in the offseason after posting a 4.28 ERA in 2015 with the San Diego Padres. He signed a whopping 5-year deal with the Royals worth $70 million. Duda squared off against the Royals last season in the World Series, and he's off to a solid start, batting .250 through two games. Milone will get his first start of the 2016 season this Sunday against Kennedy's Royals, while Boxberger (abdomen) begins the 2016 season on the 15-day DL with an expected return in mid-May.
