Latest news and updates about the Royals
And in the latest sign that George Orwell is our national showrunner this season: Mayor Quinton Lucas told reporters that the city has projections for how much tax revenue a new stadium could generate based on what Kauffman Stadium in the Truman Sports Complex produces now — which city officials say is roughly $5 million […]
The Royals have claimed outfielder Matthew Lugo off waivers from the Angels, according to announcements from both clubs. The Halos had designated him for assignment last week. The Royals have optioned him to Triple-A Omaha. Additionally, the Royals announced that they have selected the contract of right-hander Beck Way and optioned right-hander Eli Morgan. Kansas […]
The Royals announced they have called up pitcher Beck Way from Triple-A Omaha and claimed outfielder Matthew Lugo off waivers from the Angels. Lugo has been assigned to Omaha, and the Royals optioned reliever Eli Morgan to the Storm Chasers as well. The Royals also announced Bailey Falter has cleared waivers and has been outrighted […]
The writing was on the wall for the Cincinnati Reds yesterday when star pitcher Chase Burns was scratched late from his scheduled start against the Kansas City Royals due to illness. When the once-dependable portion of the team’s tattered rotation was turned into a spot bullpen start, it was a clear indication that some more […]
The Royals have lost 16 of 20 games, and are now just a half game from having the worst record in baseball in early June. The season has been a huge disappointment for a team that largely returned a roster coming off back-to-back winning seasons and was expecting to contend for a post-season spot. When […]
The Philadelphia Phillies already have a very capable starting rotation with names like Zack Wheeler, Christopher Sanchez, and Jesus Luzardo. But with the MLB trade deadline two months away, the Phillies may be all-in this season, and that could lead to Dave Dombrowski doing whatever it takes to propel Philadelphia into a final push for […] The post Philadelphia Phillies Urged to Trade for Royals’ $51 Million Starter In Latest Rumor appeared first on HEAVY .
Kansas City is keeping stadium negotiations private for now and not revealing any figures. Lucas and Vasquez have both said newly generated sales taxes from a taxing district around the proposed stadium would primarily pay for the bonds. Lucas told reporters that Kauffman Stadium’s sales taxes were used to help project how much that might […]
The Royals have been looking for answers, trying to find something, ANYTHING, to break the horrid stretch of baseball recently. They finally found something tonight. And they did not have to do a bunch of small ball for it. The Reds were starting a little-used reliever with control problems as an opener. The Royals made […]
The New York Yankees had a very successful week of baseball during the last week of May. They’ve won five of their last six games, including a sweep of the Kansas City Royals and a series win over the Athletics. Both series have featured strong offensive outputs, so it came as no surprise on Monday […] The post MLB Makes Ben Rice Announcement on Monday appeared first on HEAVY .
The Cincinnati Reds will begin their sans-Elly era on Monday night in Great American Ball Park with the Kansas City Royals in town. They’ll also do so without Chase Burns, who was scratched from his scheduled start due to him battling an illness at the moment. As a result, the patchwork infield will back Lyon […]
The 22-37 Royals last won a game on Sunday, May 24th, against the Seattle Mariners. I attended that game and left when the score was 8-3 Royals. They tried to lose the game but failed. Since then, the Royals have been very successful at losing, as they suffered consecutive sweeps at the hands of the […]
The 2026 Kansas City Royals are an indisputably bad baseball team. On pace for an eye-watering 102 losses, they have one of the worst bullpens and one of the worst offenses in baseball. They run into a bunch of outs on the bases. They have lost 16 out of their last 19 games one month […]
The Kansas City Royals are in a tailspin, and this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast does not look away. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco take stock of a team that has two consecutive series sweeps and gone 3-10 over the last fifteen days, a stretch that has raised serious questions about accountability at every […]
It was another tough day of Royals baseball. They were promptly swept for the third time in their last four series. They have lost 6 straight and 16 of their last 19. They are one of the worst teams in all of baseball. A four-run first inning, all with two outs, doomed Michael Wacha and […]
The Texas Rangers scored six runs while the Kansas City Royals scored three runs. The Royals appear to have been just what the doctor ordered for a Rangers squad that had been having trouble making good on an alleged manageable portion of their schedule. After dropping a four-game set three to one to the Houston […]
The Royals are in complete disarray. They have lost 15 of their last 18 games and are trying to avoid being swept for the third time in the last four series. I don’t really have many positive things to say, Michael Wacha starts today, he’s been one of the few bright spots this season. With […]
Texas Rangers lineup for May 31, 2026 against the Kansas City Royals: starting pitchers are Jack Leiter for the Rangers and Michael Wacha for the Royals. The Rangers look to try to sweep the Royals this afternoon. Evan Carter, who got hit in the foot with a pitch on Friday, is sitting for the second […]
Good morning, folks… The Texas Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals yesterday by a score of 7-6. Evan Grant writes that the Rangers come from behind victory sets them up to potentially have a winning homestand. Joc Pederson homered in the win, and is looking like the guy the Rangers thought they were signing. Evan […]
Rangers 7, Royals 6
Royals catcher Carter Jensen was shifted to the leadoff spot on Saturday with the club searching for offensive production. The young backstop came through with an RBI single and a two-run homer. Kansas City scored six runs in the contest after having put up a total of five runs in four games this week. “I […]
Just when you thought the Royals had run out of ways to lose baseball games. In case you’re too young to understand the reference in the headline, there was an old Newpaper comic strip called Peanuts by Charles Schulz. One of the running gags was that Charlie wanted to kick a football. Lucy would always […]
The Texas Rangers scored seven runs while the Kansas City Royals scored six runs. The Rangers finally found one of those bad teams we’ve heard so much about! After going up 3-0 through most of the game, the Rangers allowed four runs in the top of the seventh to erase a quality start from Kumar […]
I don’t really know what to put here anymore. I mean, sure, I can preview the pitching matchup and offer some thoughts about the lineup. And I will. But I also like to contextualize the play of the team and the importance of the game. And… there’s just no context worth offering, and there is […]

If you asked me what the highlight of Tuesday’s 15-1 drubbing of the Royals was, I’d pick Cam Schlittler’s casual six-inning, one-run start. But a close second would be Amed Rosario’s four-hit, two-homer performance. Ok, it’s important to note that his second homer came against a position player on the mound, poor old Tyler Tolbert. […]
