Latest news and updates about the Royals
The 2026 Royals season did not go as expected. After back-to-back winning seasons, the Royals felt they had the core of a team that could return to the postseason with a few minor tweaks to the roster. No team in the division won more than 85 games, so even a mediocre season would have put […]
When the 2026 Kansas City Royals season came to a close on Sunday, there were only three words bouncing around in my head: “Well, that sucked.” Objectively, this year’s Royals squad was awful. They lost 93 games and were bad in pretty much all facets of the game. Though they improved from last year at […]
Kansas City has revealed the dimensions of the mega-TIF district where all increases in sales and income tax receipts, and half of all increases in hotel tax receipts, would be siphoned off and given to Royals owner John Sherman to pay off a new stadium, and it looks like this: The city didn’t provide an […]
Michael Wacha reached the 200-innings mark this year, writes Jaylon Thompson. “Yeah, getting to that 200 mark is definitely a cool feeling,” Wacha said. “It’s always been a goal of mine as a starting pitcher to reach that number. And yeah, definitely a cool memory that I’ll have.” Wacha gave up six runs — although […]

It wasn’t the headlining professional sports game in Kansas City on Sunday afternoon, but the Royals beat the Guardians 3-2 to conclude their 2026 season, thanks for two homers from Vinnie Pasquantino. The Royals got on the board in the bottom of the first, when Maikel Garcia led off with a walk, Jac Caglianone doubled […]
This is it. The miserable 2026 Royals season finally ends today. They are 1-4 on the homestand so far, they are 68-93 on the season. Daniel Lynch IV starts today. Here are the Royals starters today. The Guardians clinched the division and a bye into the ALDS after their win last night against the Royals. […]

The 2026 post-season field will need all 162 games to be settled. Entering Saturday, there was the possibility that all 12 October clubs could have punched their tickets, but only the Cleveland Guardians and San Diego Padres locked in their spots for the playoffs with victories. Combined with a Chicago White Sox loss, Cleveland locked down its third straight AL Central title with a victory over the Kansas City Royals. That means that the Guardians will also hold the No. 2 seed in the American ...
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Once again, the Cleveland Guardians are division champs. Patrick Bailey and Brayan Rocchio each hit two of Cleveland’s five home runs as the Guardians beat the Kansas City Royals 11-5 on Saturday night to clinch their third straight AL Central title. Cleveland’s victory, coupled with Chicago’s 9-6 loss to Colorado, gave the Guardians (85-76) a two-game lead over the second-place White Sox (83-78) with one game remaining in the regular season on Sunday. José Ramírez and the G...
Cleveland cruising past a pitcher in Kansas City’s Michael Wacha who had owned them largely winnowed any chance the White Sox would have to finish with a late kick to win the AL Central. However, the White Sox ended any chance of extending the division drama to Sunday by getting off to a rocky start […]
If there's any silver lining to the White Sox letting the AL Central slip out of their grasp, it's better to know a day early. The White Sox's 9-6 loss to the Rockies tonight, coupled with the Guardians' 11-5 victory over the Royals, cemented the division in favor of Cleveland, which also gets the first-round bye as the No. 2 seed. The White Sox have to settle for the third wild card spot, and will head to the state of Texas to play whichever team ends up taking the AL West, but at least the...
Things started off so well for the Royals, but one error led to a disaster second inning, and the Royals could never recover. They ultimately fell to the 2026 AL Central Division Champion Cleveland Guardians by a score of 11-5. Michael Wacha faced only three in the first inning, and the offense went to work […]
Christian Yelich may not be the player he was when he first landed on the Milwaukee Brewers in 2018, but this left-handed hitter helped the franchise grow into the powerhouse it is today. Moreover, even when the man is struggling at the plate, he can still lead. Manager Pat Murphy and the clubhouse are certainly […] The post Brewers’ Christian Yelich joins Aaron Judge, Salvador Perez as a team captain appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Well, folks. It’s been a…well I was going to say it’s been a good season. But it hasn’t. So I’ll say, “It’s been a season.” This is my last game preview for the 2026 Royals calendar. I, along with the rest of the usual suspects, will be posting discussion threads for the playoffs, but even […]
The American League standings still have a number of races to be decided, including the American League Central division. The Cleveland Guardians did not play their best game of the season on Friday, but the Kansas City Royals happened to be even worse. While the Guards committed two defensive errors and the bullpen struggled, the […] The post 2026 AL Standings: Guardians’ 5-run 9th inning keeps White Sox at bay in fierce AL Central battle appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Noah Cameron’s last start of the year did not go well, writes Jaylon Thompson. Cleveland first pounded KC left-handed starter Noah Cameron. He surrendered seven runs (six earned) in five innings. “I made some bad pitches,” Cameron said. “Some tough plays, which happens, since it’s baseball. But yeah, I think it just got out of […]

Guardians vs. Royals full game highlights from 9/24/26
Steven Kwan joins Andre Knott following the Guardians 12-9 road win over the Kansas City Royals at Kaufmann Stadium in Kansas City.
If I hadn’t known any better, I would have assumed the Royals were the team that were partying late into the night and didn’t get into town until 3 AM. They played perhaps their sloppiest game of the season and despite the fact that Gavin Williams didn’t have anything approaching his best stuff, the Royals […]

Today is my penultimate game thread for the 2026 MLB Regular season. You might have noticed I’ve been using that word a lot lately. You’ve probably guessed it’s my favorite word. You’re right. Last time we were together, Noah Cameron was performing his penultimate start to the season. Today is the ultimate. It would be […]
