Latest news and updates about the Royals
The Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers have both clinched playoff spots, and both are currently on pace to be the top seed in their respective leagues. They have done it despite each having a lower payroll than the Royals. The Brewers spent $145.6 million – less than half what the last place Mets spent […]

Episode Summary Live stream begins at 11:00 AM CT / 9:00 AM PT The Chicago White Sox offense broke out against Kansas City, scoring 14 runs in their victory. While the offense deserves praise for its recent 8-game run, pitching was still poor, as Trevor Richards and Luis Castillo stumbled in the late innings. Regardless, with how the American League has played, a win on Wednesday paired with a Texas Rangers loss clinches a postseason spot for the White Sox. Presented by Ankin Law - Injur...
Not to say that Randal Grichuk has conditioned White Sox fans to expect great things when he's at the plate, but his 4-for-5 night against the Royals on Tuesday was somehow slightly diminished by knowing how close he came to hitting for the cycle. He just needed his slicing drive in the seventh inning to elude Kyle Isbel's diving attempt in center field, but Isbel was able to knock it down and limit Grichuk to his second double of the night. "I was just hoping it got down and saw him leavi...
MLB Trade Rumors’ Steve Adams looks ahead to the cold outlook for the Royals this coming offseason. Although the 2026 season was an immense disappointment, it’s unlikely that there will be sweeping changes made to organizational leadership. The Royals extended manager Matt Quatraro on a new three-year contract that covers the 2027-29 seasons — with […]

Brenton Doyle homered to center (414 ft) in the 2nd inning to extend the White Sox lead to 3-0.

The Chicago White Sox got off to a quick start and never looked back in a crucial victory over the Kansas City Royals Tuesday night. The big blasts came from Chase Meidroth, Brenton Doyle, Randal Grichuk and Munetaka Murakami who each homered in the win. It was an encouraging day for the offense as they poured on 14 runs in a wire-to-wire victory. Unfortunately, the Cleveland Guardians also won, keeping it a 1-game deficit in the AL Central with 5 games to play. Join Sean Anderson and Herb Law...
Anthony Kay looked solid for the first couple of innings, keeping the Royals scoreless despite their first two batters reaching on consecutive base hits. Unfortunately, he couldn’t maintain that consistency and ultimately surrendered four runs on seven hits over just four innings. The lefty is known to lean on his four-seamer, but tonight he turned […]
James Fegan reports Bryan Hudson will open Wednesday for Erick Fedde as the White Sox visit the Royals. First pitch is 6:40 p.m. CT at Kauffman Stadium. The post Bryan Hudson to Open Wednesday for Erick Fedde vs. Royals appeared first on On Tap Sports Net .
CHICAGO – Are you in the market for a slogan to encompass this amazing, bordering on astonishing 2026 White Sox season? Well, third baseman Miguel Vargas might have come up with one prior to a 14-11 victory over the Royals on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. Vargas was asked about the White Sox coming back from Friday’s tough loss to the Tigers, in which they blew a five-run lead and a six-run lead en route to an 11-8 setback, only to now win three games in a row. White Sox City Postseason T...
Chase Meidroth drove in five and Randal Grichuk went 4-for-5 with a three-run homer as the White Sox outlasted the Royals 14-11 at Kauffman, surviving a Pasquantino grand slam in the ninth.

If nothing else, the White Sox learned their lesson from the Detroit fiasco last Friday: Keep scoring. That was one of two things that allowed tonight's game to stand as a useful if uneasy victory, rather than another dispiriting defeat. The White Sox jumped out to a 9-1 lead that became a 9-4 margin when Anthony Kay was unable to complete five innings, but a big five-run seventh ultimately kept the Royals at arm's length despite seven runs against Trevor Richards and Luis Castillo the final...
The last time I was physically here at Kauffman Stadium for a baseball game was on September 4, where I witnessed Daniel Lynch IV immediately give up five runs in two innings and functionally take the Royals out of the contest before it began. I got worked up enough about it that I wrote about […]
Last week was tough for the Chicago White Sox, who could have practically shut the door on the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central race but couldn’t finish the job. With six games remaining in the regular season, the Good Guys start the week with a three-game road trip to face the Kansas City Royals. […]
It’s the last homestand of the year. That sentence brings no small measure of relief. This has been a trying season for the Royals, and it’s certainly been a trying last month for the Royals. They have lost 14 of their last 19 games. And unlike some past years where the Royals have pivoted to […]
The Royals missed the playoffs for the fifth time in the past six seasons. After an 86-win season netted a Wild Card berth in 2024, they went 82-80 in 2025. This year’s group will win, at most, 73 games. The promising core of a few years ago has been marred by injuries and the aging […]
Last August, the White Sox were in the middle of a 102-loss season while the Royals were trying their best to stay on the fringes of the Wild Card race. The Royals would win 10 of 13 against the Sox, a big part of why they were able to finish with a winning record. The […]

DENVER — Kyle Freeland was outstanding the last time he thought he was throwing his last pitches for the Rockies — his hometown team and his only team in a 10-season Major League career. On Aug. 2, the eve of the Trade Deadline, Freeland — having acknowledged that he could be dealt — threw his first career complete game, a five-hit, 8-1 victory over the Royals. Rockies Fan Appreciation Day is Thursday! A deal didn’t happen. Now it’s one more time for a possible last home hurrah. Freeland will ...
The future couldn’t have looked better for the Kansas City Royals in 2024. But while Bobby Witt Jr. has ascended to an AL MVP candidate, the Royals have become a laughing stock.
The Royals announced organizational awards yesterday. Max had details here on Royals Review yesterday. Royals left-handed pitching prospect David Shields (the club’s No. 4 prospect per MLB.com) was named the Paul Splittorff Pitcher of the Year. Meanwhile, Josh Hammond (No. 2) won the Alex Gordon Heart and Hustle Award. Brett Squires was named the George […]
The Toronto Blue Jays could be eliminated from the playoff race as early as Tuesday. That fate hangs over the Blue Jays after they lost 4-3 to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday. The loss dropped the Blue Jays 3.5 games behind the Chicago White Sox for the third wild-card spot in the American League, with five games to go. The Blue Jays will be eliminated on Tuesday with a loss to the Orioles, a White Sox win over the Royals and a Guardians win over the Red Sox. The Blue Jays were the only team i...
The Royals announced the best of their farm system today, giving organizational awards for top players at each level. Brett Squires was given the George Brett Award for the top hitter in the organization. The 26-year-old first baseman hit .277/.351/.549 with 31 home runs and 24 steals split between Double-A and Triple-A. He was one […]
The Kansas City Royals are limping into the final week of the season, and Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco break down a brutal sweep in Pittsburgh, a bullpen that keeps reminding everyone how fragile late leads really are, and the handful of bright spots still worth chasing before the offseason arrives. Jeremy unpacks why Jac […]
