You don’t know who’s going to pan out, so it’s […]
Yankees potential trade partner: Kansas City Royals
The days of the promising 2024 Royals team that squared off with the Yankees in the postseason are well in the past. Bobby Witt Jr. remains every bit of one of the most exciting players in the game, but the talent around him has not blossomed in the way this team had hoped for, KC […]
Orioles series preview: a team no longer on the rise
Two years ago, the Orioles hosted the Royals in the Wild Card round. Baltimore had just finished the regular season 91-71, a drop from their previous 101-61 record in 2023, but still good enough for second place in the daunting American League East and for the top Wild Card spot. Despite dropping the series in […]

Royals Expected To Maintain High Asking Price On Wacha, Lugo
The Royals have been one of the more disappointing teams in MLB.

However, as explored on the MLBTR podcast this week, Kansas City doesn’t have […]

Foster Griffin’s intriguing situation with trade deadline looming
When the Nationals signed Foster Griffin in December of 2025, he was labeled as a low-upside reclamation project.

His prestige as a 2014 […]

2026 MLB draft: College hitters with plate discipline
The Royals have not historically been a great organization at identifying and developing hitters with strong plate discipline. Since 2000, the Royals swing at more pitches out of the strike zone than any team and rank dead last in walk rate. Too often, the Royals have leaned toward toolsy hitters with athletic upside that come […]
