Team USA’s militarism is a big bummer in an otherwise incredible WBC tournament
This year’s World Baseball Classic has been a resounding success, a theorem that proves so many assertions about baseball: that baseball is global, that baseball can be fun, that there’s so much talent, that the sport itself is exciting. It has also demonstrated that national teams don’t have to rally around jingoism to forge an […]
Kansas City Royals News: Maikel Garcia sent Venezuela to WBC final
Vinnie Pasquantino incorrectly noted which teams were in the WBC final four and apologized. Oops. It’s ok – he’s highly caffeinated and we all make mistakes when we’re W I R E D. “It’s amazing,” Pasquantino said. “I don’t know how many people would’ve picked the Dominican Republic, Japan, the United States and Italy in […]
What is your favorite baseball movie?
The Oscars were on Sunday night, an award show designed to be a celebration of movies. More than any other sport, baseball has a rich history in cinema. From Babe Comes Home in 1927 to Eephus in 2024 there have been some memorable baseball moments on the silver screen. Here are some of the many […]
Better know your enemy: The Detroit Tigers
The Tigers have reached the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, only to fall in the ALDS. They’re the only team in the division projected to have a top ten payroll, and the expectations are for them to make a serious run at their first pennant since 2012. Not only are they spending […]
Royals Rundown: Global Baseball Energy Drains Kansas City’s Camp
Spring training storylines are heating up while the World Baseball Classic continues to showcase baseball’s global reach — and the Royals Rundown Podcast is here to break it all down. In this episode, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco examine the latest developments from Kansas City Royals spring training, including roster battles, injury updates, and […]
Spring training bench battle: Josh Rojas or Nick Loftin
Someone on the Royals’ bench needs the ability to play third, in case All-Star Maikel Garcia goes down or needs a rest. The two most likely candidates to fill that role would be either Josh Rojas or Nick Loftin. The former signed a minor league deal and is coming off a pretty terrible season, but […]
Kansas City Royals news: Royals shine in the WBC
Vinnie Pasquantino, Jac Caglianone and Team Italy defeated Seth Lugo and Puerto Rico on Saturday. On Saturday, Lugo — representing Puerto Rico — took the mound against Italy in the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals at Daikin Park in Houston. He stood squarely across from Vinnie Pasquantino and Jac Caglianone. “No, to be honest with you,” […]
Spring Training Game Thread-XXIII- White Sox vs Royals
The Kansas City Royals continue to barrel toward Opening Day; however, they’ve been missing a lot of key guys. And no, that’s not because of injuries, it’s because they are tearing it up in the World Baseball Classic and most of them are in the semifinals. Here is some of those key Royals and how […]
Spring Training game thread XXII – Royals at Athletics
In one week, the Royals will play their final Cactus League game of 2026. In two weeks, the Royals will be preparing to play their second game of the season. If we can hang on just a little bit longer, we can make it all the way to Regular Season 2026 Baseball! But until then, […]
Kansas City Royals news: Will the Royals be drinking espressos after home runs?
Anne Rogers gives a roster projection with two weeks to go. If Massey is healthy enough to make the team, there’s just one spot really up for grabs here. Loftin has been a standout this spring, from his .308/.400/.654 slash line to getting a ton of defensive work all over the field, including a lot of […]
Spring Training game thread XXI – Diamondbacks at Royals
The WBC Quarterfinals start tonight, including Team USA facing off against Team Canada. But if you can tear your eyes away from that, you can see the debut of Eric Hosmer on the Royals TV broadcast in Surprise, Arizona. It should be a good time. Here’s the lineup: Speaking of team USA in the WBC, […]

Eight things I love about Bobby and Vinnie’s spring training house
Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino are not only terrific ballplayers for the Royals and World Baseball Classic, they seem to be genuine friends. For the past two years, they have been roomies in spring training in Arizona in a house that they call “The Wittz-Carlton.” MLB film crews caught up with the boys in […]
What Royals pitcher had your favorite pitch?
Careers are made on a signature pitch. Nolan Ryan’s fastball. Sandy Koufax’s curve. Mariano Rivera’s cutter. Over the years, the Kansas City Royals have had plenty of pitchers with a signature offering that defined their style on the mound. What Royals pitcher had your favorite pitch? Here are some of my favorites: Tell me your […]

The Royals announced today that all 162 games will be televised, including 13 as part of a national television package.

Better know your enemy: The Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians seemingly do nothing each offseason, plug-and-play guys, and keep winning. They have had just one losing season since 2012, with eight playoff appearances in that time. Constancy. Sweet, sweet constancy. The downside is they have just one pennant in that time, and have not won a championship since 1948. The team did make […]
Kansas City Royals news: The latest in Vinnie and Bobby’s bromance
At The Star, Jaylon Thompson writes that we shouldn’t sleep on Nick Mears, the other player acquired in the Angel Zerpa trade: Mears has great analytical numbers. Per Statcast, he recorded a 33.5% chase rate — ranking in the 93rd percentile among qualified major-league pitchers. He also demonstrated good command, with just 2.1 walks allowed […]
Royals vs. Padres Spring Training game thread
The Kansas City Royals went 0-for-2 yesterday in split-squad action and will regroup against the San Diego Padres. The two teams face off in Peoria Sports Complex down in Arizona, with left-handed pitcher Kris Bubic taking the mound. Things have been rough for the boys in blue since the World Baseball Classic began. With players […]
Give me your hottest take about the 2026 Royals
We’re in an era of sports hot takes. Want to yell about sports on TV (or for you younger folks, on social media), have a hot take! But some hot takes have the benefit of being true. We’re still a few weeks from the Royals season opener against the Braves. Do you have a different […]

Hopefully Bobby Witt Jr. discovers a joy of leadoff hitting from the WBC
Arguably the most consistent debate in Kansas City sports over the last two years is about who should be the Kansas City Royals’ leadoff hitter. After shuffling around multiple guys in the spot in 2024, the Royals went out and acquired Jonathan India last season to explicitly fill the job. That didn’t quite work, and […]
Kansas City Royals News: Vinnie Pasquantino is America’s Hero
If you didn’t watch the WBC game last night, Royals 1st baseman Vinnie Pasquantino saved Team USA’s bacon with his historic 3 home run game over Mexico. It was quite the evening for Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino, who put on a show for Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic. Pasquantino hit […]
Royals vs Giants vs Cubs spring training thread
Down in the desert, the Royals are dividing-and-conquering today. At Surprise Stadium, a group led by the likes of Jonathan India, Carter Jensen, and Starling Marte face the Giants. At Sloan Park, Kyle Isbel, John Rave, and Tyler Tolbert lead a group against the Cubs. Split Squad Lineups for 3/11/26 Here are the lineups for […]
Who should be in the Royals’ starting rotation?
The Royals have impressive depth in the starting rotation, and that’s by design. J.J. Picollo has talked before about the need to have eight, nine, or even ten starting pitchers to get through a season, recognizing the high attrition rate among pitchers. The Royals have three recent All-Stars in Cole Ragans, Seth Lugo, and Kris […]
