Latest news and updates about the Royals
Though he didn’t lay out his exact plans, Craig Counsell made it pretty clear in talking with reporters on Tuesday that Kevin Gausman and Clay Holmes will (probably) start on Friday and Saturday in Kansas City. Gausman’s regular turn would have been on Thursday, but pushing him back allows him to acclimate a little more … The post Kevin Gausman, Clay Holmes to Start This Weekend in KC appeared first on .
We can’t go a day without a roster move. And the Jays are going with a six man rotation with Soriano and Taillon added to the rotation. Our starters for the next few days: There is a note that Kevin Gausman will be making his first start for the Cubs against the Royals. Did they […]
The Kansas City Royals are apparently collecting ulnar collateral ligaments like Infinity Stones, and they’ll soon have two more for their collection. Before Tuesday’s game against the Minnesota Twins, Royals manager Matt Quatraro told the gathered reporters that pitchers Stephen Kolek and Luinder Avila will both go under the knife for Tommy John surgery tomorrow. […]
Royals manager Matt Quatraro informed reporters, including Anne Rogers of MLB.com, that right-handers Stephen Kolek and Luinder Avila will both undergo Tommy John surgery tomorrow. Both pitchers will miss the remainder of this season and likely all of 2027 as well. Kolek is already on the 60-day injured list. Avila is on the 15-day IL […]
The Royals claimed left-hander Connor Thomas off waivers and optioned him to Triple-A Omaha, per a team announcement. Kansas City had an open 40-man spot after designating Matt Strahm for assignment earlier today, so no corresponding move is necessary. Thomas, 28, has pitched 11 2/3 major league innings and been shelled for 27 runs in […]
The Royals announced a pair of roster moves this afternoon: I think no one will be surprised to see Bobby Witt Jr. back and subsequently that Andrew Velazquez is no longer needed and therefore gets a DFA. Bobby went on the IL two weeks ago and was likely to return quickly based on the information […]
Meantime: 7.32 ERA this season. His HR/9 is 9.8 and his BB/9 is 3.5. He’s coming off three appearances in a row with at least one run allowed and he’s given up four home runs since the beginning of July, when his ERA was 5.53. So the answer is no. No to a Phillies return. […] The post The Royals Have Designated Matt Strahm for Assignment appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Twins are under .500, but just one game out of a playoff spot (talk about missed opportunities for the Royals if they were halfway decent!) That was enough for them to be buyers at the trade deadline. They weren’t super aggressive, but they did add a starting pitcher with a good track record who […]
The Kansas City Royals announced multiple roster moves on Tuesday following Monday’s MLB trade deadline. Bobby Witt Jr. was reinstated from the injured list, as the All-Star shortstop is set to make his return to the lineup. Right-handed pitcher Jose Cuas was also recalled from Triple-A. In corresponding moves, left-handed relief pitcher Matt Strahm and […] The post Royals get Bobby Witt Jr. boost, DFA ex-Phillies star appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Royals announced that infielder Bobby Witt Jr. has been reinstated from the injured list and right-hander José Cuas has been recalled from Triple-A Omaha. In corresponding moves, left-hander Matt Strahm and infielder Andrew Velazquez have been designated for assignment. Strahm, 34, came to Kansas City in what’s now a clearly regrettable offseason trade. The […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Royals fans and fans across the country. The trade deadline has passed and with it, most any reason to follow the Royals for the remainder of the year. They don’t have any high-level prospects […]
The trade deadline has come and gone, and the Kansas City Royals’ decisions left fans in disbelief. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco dissect the moves, and the notable lack of others, as the front office’s approach comes under real scrutiny. The Kris Bubic for Carlos Duran swap headlines a deadline that many are already calling […]
Sam McDowell covered the Royals’ decision-making at the trade deadline. But the most consequential decisions the Royals made were the moves they refused to make. And they entail a big risk. The Royals hung on to starting pitchers Michael Wacha and Seth Lugo, despite interest from contending teams, though general manager J.J. Picollo characterized the […]
The dust has settled, and the hard trade deadline is over. There were some big trades this year. There were some notable non-trades this year, too—we’ll get to that, later. Kansas City was quiet, though, with only a handful of deals completed. Let’s grade the ones that they did, and one that they didn’t do. […]
6:45PM: The Royals moved Connor Seabold from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL to make room for Hoffman on the 40-man roster. Seabold has been out of action since the start of July due to a right lat strain, and he now won’t be able to return until the very end of August […]
The Dodgers already acquired one left-handed starting pitcher before the trade deadline in Tarik Skubal. On Monday they added another, though in a different state of readiness. Kris Bubic was acquired from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for right-hander Carlos Durán. Bubic had a 4.11 ERA and 4.53 xERA in nine starts this season […]

Hoffman, 27, has pitched a handful of innings at the big league level over the past […]
Did you really think Tarik Skubal was going to be it for the Los Angeles Dodgers? Over the weekend, manager Dave Roberts and POBO Andrew Friedman downplayed the possibility of making any more notable additions to their roster. Yeah, right. Today, the Dodgers and Kansas City Royals came together on a trade that will send […] The post Dodgers Acquire Kris Bubic From Royals appeared first on Just Baseball .

Here we go again. The LA Dodgers are never done upgrading their talent base, it seems. After landing the big fish in the trade deadline pool on the weekend in Tarik Skubal, they've now added a 2025 All-Star to their pitching staff, trading for Kris Bubic from the Kansas City Royals.

If I had a nickel for every time the Royals traded an injured left-handed starting pitcher that some people felt was better in the bullpen on an expiring deal to the Dodgers, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice. It’s sad to see Kris Bubic go. I […]
The Dodgers are picking up another depth piece for the pitching staff, as they’re acquiring left-hander Kris Bubic from the Royals, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Right-hander Carlos Duran goes to Kansas City in return, per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Bubic was on the Royals’ 60-day injured list, so he won’t count against the Dodgers’ […]
Teams looking to improve or sell of for the future, must complete trades by today’s deadline at 5 p.m. CT. The Royals made a move early by trading outfielder Lane Thomas to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday for pitchers Lucas Braun and Carter Holton. Reliever John Schreiber could also draw interest, as contenders are always […]
