Rockies series preview: Coors Field is not a pitcher’s friend
Building a roster in the thin air of the Rocky Mountains is difficult. The Rockies made the playoffs in just their third year with the “Blake Street Bombers” and they did win the pennant in 2007, falling to the Red Sox. But they have struggled throughout much of the rest of their history because of […]
Reports indicate the Royals may have a quiet trade deadline
Having a team far back in the standings as the Chiefs begin training camp is a bummer, and yet a familiar story for Royals fans. But the trade deadline can offer a modicum of hope, as bad teams can trade off whatever little talent they have for prospects for the future. One only needs to […]
Sell Now or Regret It Later: The Royals’ Trade Deadline Reality
Trade rumors are swirling, and the Kansas City Royals’ decisions over the next several days could shape the franchise well beyond this season. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco dig into what is really brewing behind the scenes as the deadline approaches. The Royals’ current standing puts them squarely in seller territory, and Jacob and Jeremy […]
I’m just tired of meaningless Royals games
I remember when the internet wasn’t everywhere. When I was in high school in the aughts, you had to go to a computer to log onto Myspace or Facebook or to browse ESPN. In my freshman year of college at the tail end of the decade, my school didn’t even have WiFi in the dorms—you […]
Kansas City Royals news: Bullpen auditions today?
Ed note: This might have been written following yesterday’s game. As far as I know, there are no bullpen auditions going on at the K today. I can’t get too worked up about yesterday’s game. If a loss drop a team to 20-games or 21-games or whatever below .500, the season is already lost. But […]
For the ninth time this season, Royals lose in walk-off fashion
Despite a gem spun by Noah Cameron, the Royals lost today, 4-3. The Minnesota Twins won on a walk-off Grand Slam by Kody Clemens off Matt Strahm. It is the ninth time this season that the Royals have lost via walk-off, and the second time the bullpen has allowed a walk-off Grand Slam. Before the […]
Royals vs. Twins Thursday game discussion
The Royals have a chance to win their first road series since they beat the Twins in their last visit to Minnesota in early June. Noah Cameron will start today with no opener, even though he had a pretty good outing as the “bulk” guy last time. He spun seven shutout innings, but the Royals […]
If Wacha and Lugo are traded, how could the Royals replace them?
There’s been a lot of smoke around the idea of the Royals trading Michael Wacha and Seth Lugo. A lot of it has come from the media, including Jim Bowden and Andy McCullough of The Athletic, one who proposed an unlikely trade to the Cubs and the other who said the Royals need to bite […]
Kansas City Royals news: Dobnak blanks former team
Randy Dobnak threw 7 scoreless innings, and Salvador Perez tripled for the first time since 2022, in Royals 4-0 win. And in the fourth, Royals captain Salvador Perez hit a leadoff triple — his first since the 2022 campaign. Perez chugged around the bases before belly-flopping into third base with his trademark smile. “Somebody told […]
Randy Dobnak spins a gem and the Royals win in Minnesota
It was a nice calm win today for the Royals. They took the lead early, built on it, and closed it out 4-0 in a workman-like game type we have not had nearly enough of this season. The Royals got the scoring started in the third when Tyler Tolbert hit a home run to left […]
Royals vs Twins July 29 game discussion
After a blown save ruined game one of the series, the Royals head back onto the field to face the Twins again this evening. It is still fun to watch games, but the looming trade deadline is really the star of this week unless it continues to be near radio silence across the league. The […]
Vinnie Pasquantino heads back to the Injured List with a wrist injury
It has been a frustrating season for Vinnie Pasquantino, and last night was just another setback. Pasquantino exited Tuesday night’s game against the Twins with hand soreness, and today the Royals placed him on the Injured List with right wrist soreness. Pasquantino previously missed a month after suffering a hamate fracture in mid-June. To replace […]
The paths the Royals can take at the trade deadline
The 2026 season has been a big fat dud for the Kansas City Royals, a team that had designs on competing in what looks like a weak Central Division. With the August 3 trade deadline soon approaching, the Royals will almost certainly be sellers. The question is – what path will they take? General manager […]
Who’s our daddy?
College basketball fans have historically been some of the most engaged and entertaining fans in sports. Back in College basketball fans have historically been some of the most engaged and entertaining fans in sports. Back in 1999, the student body at Northwestern started chanting “Hoosier daddy” at Bobby Knight, then the coach of the Indiana […]
Kansas City Royals news: The odyssey continues in Minnesota
Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino exited Monday’s loss early with a sore right hand. Pasquantino was removed from the starting lineup in the ninth. He was replaced by Tyler Tolbert, who pinch-hit for him in the final inning. “Just soreness,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said after Tuesday’s game. “Same spot, you know, in […]
Twins walk off Royals in convincing argument that Seth Lugo should be on the trade block
Seth Lugo has somewhere between 17 and 38 different pitches to stymie opposing batters (nine, technically, per Statcast). He did just that in Tuesday’s start against the Minnesota Twins, tossing six innings and allowing only one run. But none of them can force his offense to score or prevent his bullpen from imploding, and the […]
Royals vs. Twins July 28 game discussion
Miss me? Well, most of you probably didn’t even clock that you hadn’t read an article from me in a while considering we’re in the dog days of summer here and the Royals continue to plod along slowly. That’s totally fair. But I have been without internet for most of the past 10 days, sailing […]
Twins series preview: Last year’s big sellers at the trade deadline
A year ago, the Twins were major sellers at the trade deadline, sending 11 players away in trades including Carlos Correa, Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, and Louis Varland. But they kept most of their core young players, and a year later the organizations is hovering near .500, just a few games out of first. However […]

Learn from Seth Lugo and trade Michael Wacha
Last year, around the trade deadline, the Royals had a starting pitcher in his mid-30s on an expiring contract. Seth Lugo had a 3.03 ERA through his first 20 starts as the Royals approached the trade deadline under .500. Rather than trade him or extend him a Qualifying Offer at the end of the season, […]
Salvy Makes Royals History, Cameron Delivers, and the Trade Deadline Looms
Salvador Perez is now the Kansas City Royals’ all-time home run leader, and Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco give the record-breaking moment the full treatment it deserves. Perez’s sustained power, his ability to keep producing at this stage of his career, and the curious absence of recognition from MLB The Show all factor into a […]

This Week in the Minors is our weekly look at notable performances from all over the system, from big-name prospects and less-heralded guys alike. The mission is to answer this simple question: “Who had a good week?” Triple-A Omaha Storm Chasers (48-53, 11.5 games back) The Storm Chasers won 5 of 6 against the Salt […]
Kansas City Royals News: The Royals are trying new things
With the off day, it’s a light news day. Anne Rogers talks with longtime Royals coach Miguel Garcia about Salvador Perez, who has known Salvy since he was signed by the Royals as a 16-year-old. More than anyone else, Perez says Garcia is the one who gets him ready to play every day with their […]
Get your Salvador Perez: Kansas City Home Run King t-shirt from BreakingT!
Salvador Perez is the new home run king of Royals baseball! All hail the king! Salvy smacked the 318th home run of his career over the weekend, passing George Brett for the most home runs ever hit by a Royals player. It is just the latest accolade in the long, storied career that has made […]
The Royals should be willing to trade Michael Massey
Kansas City Royals second baseman Michael Massey just had one of the better moments of a disappointing season on Sunday, hitting a go-ahead home run in the top of the eighth inning against the Detroit Tigers. Here’s a clip in case you missed it: The 28-year-old has put together a really nice bounce-back season, hitting […]
