Two years ago, the Orioles hosted the Royals in the Wild Card round.

Despite dropping the series in […]

The Royals have been one of the more disappointing teams in MLB. They’re alongside the Angels as the two worst teams in the American League, the only AL clubs completely buried in the playoff picture. That theoretically positions them as deadline sellers. However, as explored on the MLBTR podcast this week, Kansas City doesn’t have […]

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 […]
