Royals left-hander Kris Bubic is a player of interest for the Athletics in advance of the trade deadline, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale writes. Bubic is a free agent after the season, and thus a logical trade candidate if the 27-39 Royals can’t get back into contention. The first order of business is Bubic’s health, as […]
Despite the Kansas City Royals’ last-place standing in the AL Central with a 27-39 record, they hinted at a rebound, winning the last two series. However, it came at the cost of Bobby Witt Jr. Witt is batting .284 with a .354 on-base percentage. He scored 9 homers and stole 23 bases, which is tied […]

The Kansas City Royals have been dealing with injuries throughout the season, and things aren’t getting any better with the latest news to come out of their game against the Minnesota Twins.

Something I wrote in Friday night’s recap keeps parading through my mind. This team was constructed to be a team with a high floor and enough talent to play consistently above-average, but without top-end potential outside Bobby Witt Jr. and Cole Ragans. The flaw with this build shows in road trips like the one they’re […]

Close and late situations are not the friend of the 2026 Minnesota Twins. After a leadoff homer made it 1-0 Royals, Joe Ryan settled down for six innings of one-run ball, as Royal righty Luinder Avila matched him with five two-hit frames, walking three and allowing one run in a bases-loaded, no-out situation that the […]
It was a pitcher’s duel all day in the Twin Cities. The offense’s got going late, but it was the Royals getting the last laugh, beating the Twins 3-2 after a 2-run top of the 9th inning. Carter Jensen hit a leadoff homer to the right field seats off Joe Ryan. The first career leadoff […]
When a team is 13 games below .500 and sits six games out of a Wild Card slot in early June, fans generally start to suppress October fantasies and instead focus on player development. Jac Caglianone was tapped to be a core member of the Kansas City Royals for the years to come, and amid […]

Anne Rogers writes about a whirlwind day for Josh Rojas on Thursday, with a hit at Triple-A in the afternoon, and the game-winning hit in the big leagues that evening. “I can’t imagine having a travel day like that,” said Michael Massey, who homered in the fourth inning. “And then having to come in and […]
A less-controlled-than-usual Matthews manages to last longer than we (or I) expected, and he’s helped by some Cuddyer/Rosario-style cannon shots from the outfield. Inning-by-inning notes: (Rain Delay): Hey, remember when rain delays might have Kris Atteberry interviewing a baseball book author or something interesting like that? No. It’s a 1991 game. I like hearing Herb […]
Despite a rain delay of over an hour, the game started off so well for the Royals. Bobby Witt Jr. took a one-out walk, Vinnie Pasquantino hit an RBI double, then Jac Caglianone drove him in with his own double. The Royals wouldn’t score again until a weak groundout in the ninth brought home Caglianone […]
For the second game in a row, the Royals won with ninth-inning runs. Tonight, perhaps they can make things a little bit easier on those of us who already suffer from various heart, blood pressure, or anxiety diseases. Michael Wacha will take the mound for KC. His last start, against Texas, didn’t go so great. […]

If there’s one mantra about hitting that’s become very popular lately, it’s got to be some variation of “hit the ball hard.” Statcast has made exit velocities very visible and a very big deal, and the sabermetric revolution has broadly valued power hitting in favor of contact hitting. So you might think that the Kansas […]
Veteran catcher Elias Díaz rejected an outright assignment from the Royals in favor of free agency, as reflected on the transaction log at MiLB.com. Players with more than three years of service (or a prior outright in their career) can reject outrights and instead elect free agency. Díaz has more than nine years of major […]
