The public should get a say in the new Royals stadium
If you’re anything like me, you have seen headlines like this one: Royals stadium vote effort moves forward after signatures verified, and wondered what the heck is going on there. After all, didn’t the Kansas City City Council already approve a new deal for a development at Crown Center? Certainly Mayor Quinton Lucas, members of […]
Kansas City Royals news: Hail to the new Royals home run king!
Michael Massey had the big home run late to win it for the Royals on Sunday, writes Jaylon Thompson. “Being down one and to give us the lead there, you know, felt really good,” Massey said. “Obviously, I don’t get a ton of ABs (off left-handed pitchers), but trying to stay ready. Trying to prepare […]
Massey’s late homer lifts Royals in Detroit
After blowing a three-run lead in the 5th inning, the Royals trailed 4-3 heading to the 8th.

The Royals immediately jumped […]
Royals at Tigers, July 26 game discussion
The Royals play their fourth and final game in Detroit this afternoon, it’s also the seventh and final game they play up there this season.

Salvy hits 318 and leads team to first victory in Detroit this year
All season, Royals fans have been waiting for Salvador Perez to smash his 318th home run and take over the franchise record from team legend George Brett. On a warm summer day in late July, Salvy did it. There’s something poetic about this one, as there always was going to be with home number 318. […]
Salvador Perez becomes the all-time Royals home run leader
Salvador Perez has resume most baseball players would envy – All-Star appearances, Gold Gloves, Silver Slugger Awards, and a World Series MVP. Now he can add one more accomplishment to his list – all-time Royals home run champ. Salvy jumped on a hanging breaking ball from Kyle Finnegan and deposited it into the left field […]
Royals at Tigers, July 25 live discussion
It’s another day, so another game against the Tigers. Can the Royals win this one? Your guess is as good as mine, but if history proves accurate, I wouldn’t bet on it. Michael Wacha will take the mound for the Royals. It might be his final start for the boys in blue. I wouldn’t hold […]

Kansas City Royals news: Bobby Witt Jr. is one of the most valuable players in baseball
The Royals are impressed with Randy Dobnak through his first two starts, writes Anne Rogers. “I’m just here to pitch,” Dobnak said. “If they want me to start, if they want me in long relief, at the end of the day, I’ll do whatever the team needs. I’ve done both over my career over the […]
Cameron outduels Skubal, but Royals still drop second straight
The Royals dropped yet another one-run game to the Tigers, their fifth in a row. But at least they didn’t give fans any real hope in this one as the Tigers won 2-1. Here are two things that, had I said them two days ago, would not have made sense. The Tigers scored both of […]
Royals at Tigers, July 24 live game discussion
Even after last night’s disappointing loss, the Royals have still won five of seven coming out of the All-Star Break. That’s not nearly enough to get them back into contention, but at least potential trade pieces like Seth Lugo, Michael Wacha, and Matt Strahm have performed well. One player who sadly hasn’t rebounded is tonight’s […]
The history of MVPs on losing teams
A strange thing is happening in the American League. Despite capturing the All-Star Game, the American League has struggled this year compared to its National League brethren. For example, nine National League teams enter the day with winning records compared to just six American League clubs. Four of the top five winning percentages belong to […]

Tigers series preview: The last time we see Tarik Skubal in Detroit?
Tarik Skubal has won the last two AL Cy Young Awards while also capturing consecutive ERA titles and leading baseball in strikeouts over that span. But when the Royals open a four-game series in Detroit this week, they may be seeing Skubal in a Tigers uniform for the final time. With Detroit well back in […]
The 2021 Royals draft class, five years later
The Royals recently added their newest draft picks to the organization, so it seems like a good time to look back and how their past draft classes have fared.
