Royals lose an offensive battle 8-6

A day after ending the losing streak, Kansas City got into a back-and-forth battle with Baltimore. The scoring started early with both teams getting a first inning bomb. Pete Alonso hit an opposite field home run for Baltimore and Vinnie crushed one for the Royals. Baltimore’s was worth two though, and so they lead 2-1 […]

Royals vs. Orioles Game 25 Gamethread

A weight has been lifted off of the Royals after the comeback win last night. Kansas City did a lot of the things you expect professional team to do including getting runners home from third with less than two outs, key hits with runners in scoring position, and taking advantage of miscues from the other […]

Royals announce new stadium at Crown Center

The long-running downtown ballpark saga appears to be coming to a conclusion – the Royals are moving to Crown Center. The team made the announcement Wednesday morning at a “special event” featuring Mayor Quinton Lucas and Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe. Royals owner John Sherman announced a project that would place a new stadium as part […]

A look back at the 1979 Superteams competition

Take yourself back to March of 1978. Specifically, Saturday, March 11. It’s a cold, windy day. The Super Bowl is history. The NBA season is winding down, but without cable television, there is only one game on TV each week—and that is today at 1:00. And it’s a good one. The Boston Celtics, still a […]

Kansas City Royals news: The worst time for a downtown stadium announcement

MLB.com’s Anne Rogers talks to the Kansas City Royals leadership following a terrible start to the 2026 season. “You look back two months ago, month ago, no one in here would believe we’re technically the worst team in baseball,” Bobby Witt Jr. said. “We believe in each and every one in here. And that’s how […]

Royals vs. Orioles, Game 24 Gamethread

The Kansas City Royals loss last night to Baltimore Orioles was as insane and heart wrenching as we have witnessed in awhile. I chose to laugh instead of weep when Lane Thomas got thrown out at third base in the top of the tenth inning, and there was still more insanity to go after that. […]

The Royals cannot afford a Lucas Erceg problem

The Kansas City Royals’ struggles to start the season can mostly placed on the offense. They entered Monday’s game last in MLB in runs scored, and the only reason they left that position was that the Mets had a day off Monday and the Royals had the benefit of the Zombie Runner in extra innings. […]

This Week in the Minors: Kameron Misner continues to crush the ball

This Week in the Minors is our weekly look at notable performances from all over the system, from big-name prospects and less-heralded guys alike. The mission is to answer this simple question: “Who had a good week?” Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers (11-9, 2.5 games back) The Storm Chasers took 4 of 6 from Indianapolis, so […]

Kansas City Royals News: The Royals are looking at dark times

The Royals released Asa Lacy yesterday. With Lacy having spent parts of the last four years in a rehab setting at the Royals’ Arizona complex and set to become a Minor League free agent at the end of the season, the Royals made the decision to release him. “We just got to the point where […]

Royals offense cannot overcome Royals bullpen in 7-5 loss

That game was NOT how you overcome the bad vibes of a losing streak. The Royals were one strike away from a win, from ending this misery. They could not make it happen despite having all the opportunities in the world. The Orioles did not reach third base until the ninth inning. They did not […]

Royals vs. Orioles, Game 23 Gamethread

Well, uh, woof. After spending the weekend getting blasted by the Yankees and some minor-sounding infighting, the Royals ended a disastrous six-game road trip on a real heater, losers of seven in a row. The vibes are not good as the Royals are tied with the Mets for the worst record in baseball at 7-15. […]

Royals release former first-round pick Asa Lacy

The draft can be a bit of a crapshoot. Injuries derail some players, while others have trouble adjusting to the professional level. Asa Lacy experienced both problems. Six years after the Royals made him the fourth overall pick, the team is finally cutting ties, releasing him outright. Lacy was an absolute stud at Texas A&M […]

Jonathan India lands on the Injured List

In the midst of a seven-game losing streak, the Royals added injury to insult on Monday. The team announced second baseman Jonathan India has been placed on the Injured List with a left-shoulder subluxation. The team has called up Nick Loftin from Omaha to replace him. India has continued his struggles from last year, hitting […]

Orioles series preview: A must-win series

The Orioles made the playoffs in 2024, had high expectations in 2025 only to crash and burn with a losing record. That sounds a bit familiar. They’re off to a decent start this year, but have dropped five of six recently, including three of four on this road trip. Baltimore Orioles (10-12) vs. Kansas City […]

Royals’ Clubhouse Questions Don’t Excuse On-Field Problems

Tension, injuries, and tough results — the Royals are dealing with more than just what’s happening on the field. In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco break down a challenging stretch for the Kansas City Royals, highlighted by clubhouse questions following Salvador Perez’s social media activity and […]

The Royals have probably played themselves out of a playoff spot already

After a disappointing 2025, everyone in the Kansas City Royals organization–from the coaches to the players to the front office–were adamant that this year’s goal was making the playoffs again. Unfortunately for everyone involved, the season has been a complete and total disaster. We’re 22 games in, and the Royals stand at 7-15, tied for […]

Kansas City Royals news: The Royals have the worst record in the league

Anne Rogers asks how the Royals can stop their losing slide. Right now, it seems Kansas City can’t get out of its own way. It’s playing out on the field and off it. Winning is going to relieve the tightened grip the Royals have on the bats they swing and the pitches they throw. But […]

Royals lose to Yankees 7-0 in uninspired fashion

The week ended how it began, with a Kansas City loss. That is also how the entire middle went. Kansas City’s losing streak has extended to seven games and they will go home after an 0-6 road trip. Cole Ragans’ first inning started BB, HR, BB, K, BB, BB and he still managed to get […]

Game thread XXII – Royals at Yankees

Another afternoon tilt in New York for the Royals today as they try to salvage one win on what has been a truly demoralizing road trip. Two new faces have joined the team for today’s game. Elias Diaz will be catching; the veteran has been in the big leagues since 2015 but has never played […]

Discord in the clubhouse? Salvador Perez contradicts manager over day off

On Saturday, manager Matt Quatraro gave Salvador Perez a day off for the first time since August of last year, when the team captain missed two games due to illness. Other than that, his most recent day off without an injury or illness concern was June 21, 2025. Perez has struggled to start the year, […]

Yankees demolish Royals 13-4

The Royals will probably win another game this year, but you’d be forgiven if you doubted it. Royals fans were hoping for a different result from the previous six games, and it was different, alright, just not the way they hoped. The Royals were blown out in New York. The Yankees hit four home runs […]

Game thread XXI – Royals at Yankees

The Royals have lost five in a row, including every game on this road trip. But today is a new day. And today could be the start of a long winning streak! It could happen! Manager Matt Quatraro seems to be feeling the pressure to shake his team out of their funk, if the lineup […]
