Evaluating four years of Brewers transactions to compare to the Royals
The Royals have made the playoffs once in the last decade, and their disappointing seasons in 2025 and 2026 have raised questions about whether the front office can build a contender. One way to get a better sense of how the Royals are doing is to compare their decisions with those of another franchise. In […]
Kansas City Royals news: How will the Royals upgrade the bullpen?
Jaylon Thompson writes about how the Royals can aggressively upgrade their bullpen. The Royals still must try to be prudent in fixing their relief unit.

AL Central Notes: Vargas, Tigers Staff, Royals Ballpark
White Sox third baseman Miguel Vargas has been a major part of the club’s turnaround this season.

2026 Royals season in review: Noah Cameron
What a wild season Noah Cameron had. He went from fifth starter to team ace to nearly demoted and back to team ace. While last year saw him be incredibly consistent, this year was a year of very high highs and very low lows. The end result was a significantly higher ERA than his rookie […]
Kansas City Royals news: The Playoffs are heating up
Angeibel Gomez and Kendry Chourio were named the Royals Prospects of the Year, by MLB.com. It’s not common for a player to earn organizational hitter of the year honors after a Dominican Summer League campaign, but Gomez’s season (.361/.467/.653, 156 wRC+) was too impressive to look past, and the Royals thought enough of him to […]

Underrated Royals: Rey Sanchez
During their history, the Royals have had several players who were overlooked, especially on a national level. David DeJesus comes to mind, as does Kevin Appier, who was criminally underrated.

If John Sherman wants public money, he shouldn’t vote for a work stoppage
When principal owner John Sherman first floated the idea of a downtown stadium nearly five years ago, I’m guessing that he didn’t foresee the long and bumpy road that Kansas City and the Royals would take to get there. But on August 20, the City Council approved a funding commitment that, for the first time, […]

Angels Mourn as Key Scouting Member Passes Away at the Age of 73
Baseball was in Bob Fontaine Jr.’s blood long before he began scouting the players who would become stars. His father, Robert Fontaine, was a pitcher for the Montreal Royals and a teammate of Jackie Robinson, and Fontaine Jr. would eventually spend nearly 5 decades shaping the game. From Tony Gwynn and Ozzie Smith to the […] The post Angels Mourn as Key Scouting Member Passes Away at the Age of 73 appeared first on EssentiallySports .

Kansas City Royals news: Drew Waters elects free agency
Vahe Gregorian writes about what he wants to see the Royals change this offseason. There’s another issue, though, that I hope the Royals will delve deeper into as they audit their processes.
