2026 Royals season in review: Jac Caglianone
What is there to say about the Royals’ 23-year-old slugger? First, let’s let him do the talking. You can take your pick of which of those videos you find the most impressive. If I could choose between them, I would have included just one, but all three are a lot of fun. Cullen Jekel wrote […]
Evaluating four years of Brewers transactions to compare to the Royals
The Royals have made the playoffs once in the last decade, and their disappointing seasons in 2025 and 2026 have raised questions about whether the front office can build a contender. One way to get a better sense of how the Royals are doing is to compare their decisions with those of another franchise. In […]
Kansas City Royals news: How will the Royals upgrade the bullpen?
Jaylon Thompson writes about how the Royals can aggressively upgrade their bullpen. The Royals still must try to be prudent in fixing their relief unit. And there are big names set to become available after the World Series. All-Star left-hander Adrian Morejon is one of the best available free agents. Morejon, 28, formed a top-tier […]
NLCS Game 1 – Dodgers at Brewers discussion
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers kick off the championship series this Sunday, with a chance to represent the National League in the World Series. These two franchises have met three times in the NLCS, with Los Angeles taking both previous series in 2018 and 2025. The Brewers come into the series following a […]
ALDS Game 5 – White Sox at Guardians discussion
The White Sox and Guardians are the only teams to take their ALDS all the way to the limit. It’s been a battle of bad offenses to this point, with the Guardians exploding all over White Sox postseason hero Grant Taylor in Game 4 to force the winner-take-all finale. Gavin Williams, the veteran ace of […]
Kansas City Royals news: Angeibel Gomez turns heads in Arizona
Brendan Gawlowski of FanGraphs has a scouting report on Angeibel Gomez and other Royals prospects in Arizona. We’ll start with the guy people will ask about first. Gomez is a tapered 6-foot-2. While he isn’t a freaky athlete in the Elly De La Cruz mold, he’s limber and has a fast bat for a kid […]
Here are the changes MLB owners and players have suggested, but what do YOU want?
MLB owners and representatives from players’ union began preliminary negotiations on a new labor deal earlier this year, and each side has made suggestions on changes they want to make to the game. Many of these proposals are simply bargaining planks to be pulled back eventually as a concession to get a higher priority, but […]
2026 Royals season in review: The best defensive plays
The Royals made plenty of spectacular plays in the field in 2026, even as the season didn’t go the way they hoped. They finished tied for seventh in baseball in Outs Above Average with +19, with Bobby Witt Jr. standing out as a likely Gold Glove candidate, with Michael Massey, Maikel Garcia, and Kyle Isbel […]
Kansas City Royals news: City Council approves downtown ballpark TIF
Dylan Larsen writes the city approved the tax increment financing for the proposed downtown ballpark project.

The City Council on Thursday approved plans […]
ALDS Thursday open thread
The number of playoff teams is dwindling. Tonight, the Chicago White host the Cleveland Guardians in Game Four of the American League Divisional Series. It is the only remaining Divisional Series in the playoffs as the other three have concluded, including two last night. The first team to advance to the League Championship Series was […]
2026 Royals season in review: Noah Cameron
What a wild season Noah Cameron had. He went from fifth starter to team ace to nearly demoted and back to team ace. While last year saw him be incredibly consistent, this year was a year of very high highs and very low lows. The end result was a significantly higher ERA than his rookie […]
Kansas City Royals news: The Playoffs are heating up
Angeibel Gomez and Kendry Chourio were named the Royals Prospects of the Year, by MLB.com. It’s not common for a player to earn organizational hitter of the year honors after a Dominican Summer League campaign, but Gomez’s season (.361/.467/.653, 156 wRC+) was too impressive to look past, and the Royals thought enough of him to […]
LDS Wednesday open thread
The ALDS continues with the White Sox looking to finish off a sweep of the Guardians in Chicago. The Guardians will start rookie Daniel Espino. The White Sox are going with journeyman lefty reliever Sean Newcomb. The game airs on TBS and HBO Max. The Dodgers take on the Braves with a chance to finish […]
2026 Royals season in review: The best home runs
The Royals hit 170 home runs in 2026, tied for the second-most in club history and eleven more than last year. There were plenty of impressive and memorable blasts along the way, from towering shots to clutch home runs in big moments. Here are the best of the bunch. April 26 vs. the Angels – […]
Underrated Royals: Rey Sanchez
During their history, the Royals have had several players who were overlooked, especially on a national level. David DeJesus comes to mind, as does Kevin Appier, who was criminally underrated. Another player whose excellence slipped past us was shortstop Rey Sanchez, who unfortunately toiled for the Royals through some of their bleakest seasons. And for […]
Kansas City Royals news: All (stadium) business in KC
Kansas City committee recommends passing three measures related to a new Kansas City Royals Stadium at Crown Center. The committee recommended rezoning of an area of about 68 acres located south of Pershing Road, west of Gillham Road, north of E. 27th Street and east of Main Street. It also recommended recommendations of the Tax […]
NLDS Tuesday, October 6 Open Thread
We’ve got a pair of National League Division games today! First Game: Braves vs. Dodgers This is the “I wish both teams could lose” series. The Dodgers are, well, the Dodgers, and the Braves are fine but definitely no San Diego or Milwaukee. God, can you imagine a Dodgers v Brewers NLCS with the Dodgers […]
If John Sherman wants public money, he shouldn’t vote for a work stoppage
When principal owner John Sherman first floated the idea of a downtown stadium nearly five years ago, I’m guessing that he didn’t foresee the long and bumpy road that Kansas City and the Royals would take to get there. But on August 20, the City Council approved a funding commitment that, for the first time, […]
The Hidden Problems with Royals Stadium Math, J.J. Picollo’s Strategy
The Royals have a stadium to sell, a payroll to explain, and a lot of confidence about both. The numbers have not exactly gotten the memo. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco go through John Sherman’s latest answers on spending and the stadium timeline, and the gap between the pitch and the math is where this […]
This Week in the Minors: Columbia Fireflies season in review
The Royals’ Single-A affiliate, the Columbia Fireflies finished the season with a record of 64-65, almost winning the division in the first half of the season. There was plenty of good and bad throughout the season, so let’s dive into it. The good from the position players: Josh Hammond, the Royals’ first round pick in […]
Kansas City Royals News: New stadium site demolition to start soon
A new report from a development consulting firm says the new stadium will make more money. Over $460 million in tax revenue generated on site at the stadium would be redirected over 30 years, the report projects. Beyond that, to fully cover its obligations, the city would sketch out a “stadium impact area,” where new […]
ALDS Monday open thread
The playoffs continue! Today the American League gets the spotlight. The White Sox will try to take a commanding 2-0 lead on the road in Cleveland this afternoon. Lefty Anthony Kay takes on Gavin Williams. You can watch on TBS or HBO Max. Tonight the Yankees will try to get their offense back on track […]
Evaluating four years of J.J. Picollo
The general rule of thumb I have always heard when it comes to evaluating MLB general managers is that you should give them five years before you make any firm decisions. Picollo is now entering his fifth offseason, and his team has reached the playoffs once, finished over .500 twice, and finished with 90+ losses […]
Royals projected arbitration salaries for 2027
The Royals have a lot of work to do this offseason to get back to contention. One of the first things they will need to do when the offseason officially begins after the World Series is determine which arbitration-eligible players should be tendered a contract. MLB Trade Rumors has released its annual arbitration salary projections […]
Kansas City Royals news: Drew Waters elects free agency
Vahe Gregorian writes about what he wants to see the Royals change this offseason. There’s another issue, though, that I hope the Royals will delve deeper into as they audit their processes. Heck, maybe they could even form a task force for the cause: Solve why so many of their seasons get wrecked within weeks. […]
