Reid Detmers proves too much for KC, Royals lose fourth of road trip
Michael Massey and Jac Caglianone powered the lineup last night. They did it again tonight, with the only two hits KC had – both singles – in a 1-0 loss to the Angels. When your team falls by a score of 1-0, it would be easy to place the blame on the offense. But this […]
Royals at Angels, August 15 live discussion
If you’re a Royals fan of a certain age, the phrase “Lima Time!” will mean something to you. In 2003, the Royals were surprise contenders after getting off to an incredibly hot start. But they needed starting pitching help due to injury and ineffectiveness. Enter José Lima. Lima was an interesting case; he’d been a […]
Kansas City Royals news: How is Salvy’s elbow?
The Royals are being cautious with Salvador Perez’s right elbow. So much so that Royals manager Matt Quatraro revealed Perez could’ve played in Friday’s game. However, the team will take a cautious approach to ensure his health. “He’s got some inflammation in there,” Quatraro said. “It’s a little bit sore from the other day. He […]
Jac Caglianone refuses to give up, leads Royals to victory over Angels
Jac Caglianone had three hits, one gave the Royals an important cushion, one gave the Royals a short-lived lead, and the last one tied the game in the late innings. The Royals won 7-6. Grayson Rodriguez had an interesting night for the Angels in this one. He got two of the worst swings I’ve ever […]
Royals at Angels, August 14 live discussion
Before the 2025 season even came to a close, there were a few things people around baseball knew. Quickly, the rumored trade became Kris Bubic for Taylor Ward. It was only a matter of time. But then something weird happened. On November 19th, Taylor Ward was traded to a 2024 Wild Card team that had […]

Angels series preview: A battle of two of the worst teams in baseball
The Angels have been a franchise adrift in the 12 years since the Royals beat them in the 2014 ALDS, but they may finally be embarking on a true rebuild after firing general manager Perry Minasian and replacing him with John Mozeliak. The team was aggressive selling off pieces at the trade deadline, dealing outfielder […]
Royals to play Red Sox in “Field of Dreams” game in 2027
If you build it, they will come. And Royals fans may be headed to Iowa next year. MLB announced today that the Royals will face the Red Sox in the “Field of Dreams” game in Dyersville, Iowa on August 12, 2027. The Phillies defeated Twins in this year’s event, held last night. The game will […]
Caglianone’s Future Position Provides Royals’ Positive After Dodgers Series to Forget
The Kansas City Royals dropped a series to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco find plenty worth discussing in both the struggles and the small victories along the way. Jac Caglianone remains the most compelling storyline on the roster right now. He is hitting for average and looking increasingly comfortable at […]
Kansas City Royals news: Good and bad updates on the prospect front
MLB Pipeline updated their top 100 list and there are now 3 Royals on it: 54. Kendry Chourio 70. Josh Hammond 84. Angeibel Gomez However, in their story about the updates, I can’t help but notice something: A year ago, we added a dozen members of the Draft Class of 2025 to the Top 100, […]
Royals sign former All-Star pitcher Tony Gonsolin
The Royals continued their quest to rebuild pitching depth by signing pitcher Tony Gonsolin to a contract with a club option for the 2027 season. To make room for him on the 40-man roster, the Royals designated pitcher Eli Morgan for assignment. Gonsolin was placed on the 15-day Injured List. Gonsolin debuted with the Dodgers […]
What should the Royals be evaluating the final two months of the season?
The Royals spent the first half of the season trying to figure out how to win in 2026. With the team far back in the standings and the season effectively lost, the final two months should be about figuring out how to win in 2027. The team still has nearly 40 games left to play, […]
Kansas City Royals news: Salvy exits, Royals swept…again
The Royals lost 4-2 last night, getting swept by the Dodgers, ugh. Salvador Perez left after the top of the 5th inning, with right elbow aggravation. A rough start to the Royals’ Southern California road trip turned worse as Salvador Perez left Wednesday night’s 4-2 loss to the Dodgers early due to right elbow aggravation. […]
Dodgers use long balls to finish the sweep
The Royals made Eric Lauer work and had the lead twice, but it was not enough as the Dodgers’ three long homers were enough to win 4-2. The early game was back and forth. Neither offense was able to score in the first, but then it was all scoring for a bit. Daniel Lynch managed […]
Royals vs. Dodgers August 12 game discussion
Daniel Lynch the IV will get his second start of the year as he gets a shot to transition back to the rotation. The first attempt did not go great, and this one is against the third highest scoring team in baseball at 5.02 runs per game. It will be a tough test for the […]
Does Jac Caglianone hit better when he plays first base?
As we all search for meaning in the midst of this dismal Kansas City Royals season, more and more attention gets placed on Jac Caglianone. It’s not hard to understand why; the former first round pick had a disappointing rookie season, but has made serious progress this year, posting a .258/.326/.458 slash line. He blasted […]
Remembering the year 1976
I have a client who just turned 104 years old. She was alive in the era of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Rogers Hornsby, Cool Papa Bell and Walter Johnson. She also would have been alive when the United States celebrated its 150th anniversary. It made me think how rare it is for someone to see […]
Kansas City Royals news: Caglianone shines under LA’s bright lights
MLB.com’s Jack Janes recounts Kansas City Royals slugger Jac Caglianone shining against Los Angeles Dodgers starter Tarik Skubal making his home debut. In the third inning, Skubal left an 0-2 slider down the middle to Caglianone, who made him pay by hitting a 110.8 mph laser into the seats in right field for a two-run […]
Royals game goes to extra innings and you already know how that story ends
The Kansas City Royals lost, 5-4, to the Los Angeles Dodgers via a walkoff single in the 10th inning. Royals starter Michael Wacha pitched well into the seventh inning and the offense rallied in the eighth inning, but the bullpen did what it does best—give up runs and lose baseball games. Most of this game […]
Royals vs. Dodgers August 11 game discussion
You know, the Royals and the Dodgers have, basically, the same base uniform. What’s up with that? The same blue, the same home script, the same grey away uniform. Thankfully, the Royals have some uniforms and colors that are legitimately different (IE, powder blue, and #PurplePower City Connect jerseys). Unfortunately, while they may have the […]

The Royals want to win in 2027, but there should be hell to pay if they don’t
Have you watched the Kansas City Royals recently? Fewer people are—Kauffman Stadium has drawn over 2,500 fewer fans per game compared to last year, which tracks because the on-field product has been much worse. It doesn’t quite look like the 2026 Royals will hit 100 losses when it’s all said and done, but the number […]
Royals Owner John Sherman Speaks, Unpacking Cubs Series + Farm Action!
Owner John Sherman gave an interview with Josh Vernier about what it will take to make the Kansas City Royals competitive by 2027, and Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco spend the bulk of this episode working through what he actually said. An entirely new bullpen is one of the clearest needs, and Sherman’s acknowledgment of […]

Kansas City Royals News: Royals sign Kimbrel and Sherman wants to spend
John Sherman sat down with Josh Vernier to give a sort of State of the Union address post-deadline. “I think from my perspective, our outfield has gotten more productive this year. Still work to do there. “We have a rotation that right now Wacha, Lugo and (Noah) Cameron, and got some guys hurt. But we […]
