Royals sign veteran lefty Aaron Bummer
The Royals have signed veteran lefty Aaron Bummer to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Omaha. Bummer has appeared in 406 career MLB games with the White Sox and Braves with a 3.94 ERA. He was let go by Atlanta earlier this year after posting a 7.36 ERA in 19 games. Bummer […]
Giants series preview: A lot of money for a bad baseball team
The Giants have a payroll of nearly $200 million, yet all it has gotten them is the fifth-worst record in baseball. They will look to move some of their bigger contracts at the trade deadline if they can find any takers. They had a terrible May, dropping 18 of 28, but have played near .500 […]
Royals 2026 draft signing tracker
Last week, the Royals selected the newest players to the organization, headed by #6 overall pick outfielder Zion Rose out of the University of Louisville. Now the team will get signatures on contracts and begin assigning players to minor league rosters. The team introduced Rose to the media after he signed for $5.8 million. Each […]
Kansas City Royals news: Welcome, Zion Rose!
Jaylon Thompson writes about the blowout loss on Sunday. “It stinks for everybody to be out there in that situation,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “You never want to be in that spot (late in the game), but that’s the spot we put ourselves in. And you know, with seven more games before an off-day, […]
Padres slug their way to victory in Kansas City
The Kansas City Royals were looking to complete a sweep at home against the San Diego Padres out of the All-Star Break, however, timely hitting and the long ball doomed the Royals as the Padres beat them 19-2. Things were looking good for the Royals out of the gate, Noah Cameron got a scoreless first […]
Royals vs Padres, July 19 game discussion
The Royals have won their first two games out of the All-Star Break. They will look to sweep the scuffling San Diego Padres this afternoon, with Noah Cameron on the bump. In his last outing before the break, Cameron went 7 innings, allowing 5 hits, 5 runs, striking out 9, but allowing 3 homers to […]
Timely double plays lead to a second straight Royals victory
Four batters into the game, the Royals had all the runs they would need as they cruised to a 6-1 victory over the San Diego Padres. That gives them a series victory and gives them a chance at a sweep in their first series since the All-Star Break. Randy Dobnak got the spot start in […]
Royals vs Padres, July 18 game discussion
Here’s the good news: After winning a wild game last night, the Royals have a shot to take the series with a W this afternoon. The bad news: They’re going to have to do it with Randy Dobnak taking a turn in the rotation because Stephen Kolek needs a tune-up start for Omaha (also occurring […]
Kansas City Royals news: Will the Royals sell at the deadline?
David Lesky has a Royals trade primer that includes the possibility they trade Michael Wacha. The Royals have said that they will listen, but the offer would have to be astronomical. First of all, that’s probably the correct mindset to have this far from the deadline, at least on what they’d accept. But I hate […]
Royals walk off game after wild tenth inning
The Royals wasted opportunity after opportunity all night until, finally, they didn’t. Carter Jensen got his first walk-off hit as a Royal with a two-run single in the bottom of the tenth to give the Royals a 7-6 victory. Seth Lugo had a really good bounce-back start tonight. He only struck out 3 while walking […]
Padres vs Royals, July 17 game discussion
Two starts ago, Seth Lugo faced off against his original big league team in a wild game that the Royals ultimately won despite him pitching quite poorly. He will look to do better today against his other former club, the one that first gave him a shot to resume starting after what had seemed a […]
Padres series preview: The second half begins
The Royals put a frustrating first half behind them and open the second half by hosting the Padres. This is just the fourth time ever the Padres have come to town, with the Royals dropping the series the last time they played at the K in 2024. The Padres have a $200+ million payroll, but […]

Royals first-half grade cards
Following back-to-back winning seasons, the Royals had designs on contending this year. Much of the season hinged on the development of young hitters Carter Jensen and Jac Caglianone, and those two seem to be coming around as key parts of the lineup. Bobby Witt Jr. continues to play at an MVP level, and Michael Wacha […]
Kansas City Royals news: Frustration in the first half
Pete Grathoff writes the “F” word is the theme of the first half for the Royals. “Frustration is one word. You know, disappointment, anger, every emotion that you can think of,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Sunday. “I mean we’re battling, not getting any results, and it stinks. Everybody’s frustrated. Everybody in here puts in […]
Royals scheduled to begin 2027 season with earliest Opening Day in franchise history
The Royals will begin the 2027 season earlier than they ever have before — provided there isn’t a work stoppage. MLB revealed the 2027 schedules today, with the Royals opening at home on March 25 against the Minnesota Twins. This is the earliest in the calendar year the Royals have ever played a regular season […]
Let’s fix the All-Star Break
MLB All-Star Weekend is a mess. You know it, and I know it. The only people who seem to be unaware are those employed by MLB itself. It’s a mish-mash of activities all happening at the same time, just so we can have nothing happening on Wednesday and almost nothing happening on Thursday. MLB clearly […]
Kansas City Royals news: The second half picks up tomorrow
The trade deadline is coming up; Anne Rogers talks about how the Royals may get creative For the Royals, the clearest point about this season is how much of a disappointment it’s been for a team that had high expectations after a 2024 playoff run, finishing over .500 again in ‘25 and returning that core […]

Kansas City Royals news: The Midsummer Classic unfolds
The Kansas City Royals added another reliever to the 40-man roster when they traded for Easton McGee from the Milwaukee Brewers.

All-Star Game Thread
I hope every MLB fan gets used to Bobby Witt Jr. in the All-Star Game. This is already Witt’s third All-Star Game, and Witt just turned 26 last month. The Kansas City Royals record for most All-Star selections is George Brett with 13; Salvador Perez is second with nine. After that, multiple Royals are tied […]

The remarkable life of Dan Quisenberry
When you hear the name Dan Quisenberry, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it his fabulous pitching record? Is it his unusual submarine delivery? Could it be his wicked sense of humor? Maybe it’s his red hair and ’70s police officer/porn star mustache? It might be all or a combination of […]
Kansas City Royals News: Jac hit some towering jacks
Jac Caglianone was bounced in the first round of the Home Run Derby last night, but not before he unleashed some truly magnificent homers. Caglianone belted eight home runs in the first round of the annual tournament. He got off to a slow start before settling in with some mammoth homers. In his session, Caglianone […]
