The optimist’s case for Jonathan India
Last year, the player I was the most optimistic about bouncing back from a tough season was Maikel Garcia. I didn’t foresee him taking a huge step forward, but you could see heading in 2025 that there were still lots of positives in his batted-ball profile despite the poor results. Garcia worked hard on his […]

Kansas City Royals news: Who will lead off for the Royals?
David Lesky looks at who could be a candidate to lead off for the Royals. If what we saw from Garcia in 2025 is real, and the Royals are betting on it with the contract extension, he fits as a pretty traditional leadoff hitter that blends old school with new school…. I think the argument […]

Should the Royals trade a starting pitcher for prospects?

I went to a baseball game in Japan and it was amazing
The crack of the bat. The growing crescendo of cheers as the ball flew over the outfield fence. The flashing lights in celebration of the home run.
