Remembering the life of Yordano Ventura
It’s hard to believe that this coming January will mark ten years. I remember when I heard the news. It hit me like a slug hitting a deer. I had to sit for a few minutes, reading and re-reading the story. My brain refused to believe that the news was true, but eventually reality set […]
Kansas City Royals news: Injuries speckle the homestand
Kansas City Royals star Bobby Witt Jr. was out of the lineup once again due to back tightness. And on Tuesday, the Royals held the star shortstop out of the lineup because his back was “still pretty stiff,” manager Matt Quatraro said pregame. “It’s going to be day to day,” Quatraro said. “We have to […]
Royals continue second-half roll with win over Giants
The All-Star break may have been just what the Royals needed. Kansas City won their fourth game in five tries since the Midsummer Classic with a 3-2 victory over the Giants on Tuesday night. Luinder Avila was solid over 6.1 innings, and Nick Loftin provided the go-ahead run as Alex Lange was able to slam […]
This may be the worst bullpen in Royals history
Monday evening, Royals fans rose to their feet in anticipation of Alex Lange recording the final out to seal a win over the Giants. Instead, Wily Adames deposited a sinker over the right field fence for a two-run home run to tie the game. The Royals rallied to win in the bottom of the inning, […]

This Week in the Minors: Quad Cities throws a no-hitter
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 (43-52, 13.5 games back) The Storm Chasers swept their three game series against the […]
Kansas City Royals News: Kendry Chourio combined for no-hitter
Royals prospect Kendry Chourio combined with Emmanuel Reyes to throw a no-hitter. Chourio, 18, was acquired during the 2025 international signing period, and he quickly ascended to the Royals’ top prospect in Major League Baseball’s rankings. “His change-up and his curveball were both good pitches with higher ceiling,” Royals senior director of pitching performance Paul […]
Royals walkoff the Giants with bunts
On the 57th anniversary of the moon landing, the Royals and Giants celebrated by playing a baseball game on the surface of the sun that the Royals won 4-3 on a walkoff squeeze bunt. It was 97 F at first pitch. Thankfully, the Royals gracefully managed to avoid all the extra innings while burning on […]
Royals vs Giants July 20 Live Discussion
Well, let’s forget that yesterday ever happened. The Royals now continue their NL West tour of duty. Today, one of the other California teams, the San Francisco Giants, comes to Kansas City for a three-game series. At 42-57, the Giants are not much better than the 40-60 Royals. The Royals have a slightly better group […]
Royals sign veteran lefty Aaron Bummer
The Royals have signed veteran lefty Aaron Bummer to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Omaha. Bummer has appeared in 406 career MLB games with the White Sox and Braves with a 3.94 ERA. He was let go by Atlanta earlier this year after posting a 7.36 ERA in 19 games. Bummer […]
Giants series preview: A lot of money for a bad baseball team
The Giants have a payroll of nearly $200 million, yet all it has gotten them is the fifth-worst record in baseball. They will look to move some of their bigger contracts at the trade deadline if they can find any takers. They had a terrible May, dropping 18 of 28, but have played near .500 […]
Royals 2026 draft signing tracker
Last week, the Royals selected the newest players to the organization, headed by #6 overall pick outfielder Zion Rose out of the University of Louisville. Now the team will get signatures on contracts and begin assigning players to minor league rosters. The team introduced Rose to the media after he signed for $5.8 million. Each […]
Kansas City Royals news: Welcome, Zion Rose!
Jaylon Thompson writes about the blowout loss on Sunday. “It stinks for everybody to be out there in that situation,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “You never want to be in that spot (late in the game), but that’s the spot we put ourselves in. And you know, with seven more games before an off-day, […]
Padres slug their way to victory in Kansas City
The Kansas City Royals were looking to complete a sweep at home against the San Diego Padres out of the All-Star Break, however, timely hitting and the long ball doomed the Royals as the Padres beat them 19-2. Things were looking good for the Royals out of the gate, Noah Cameron got a scoreless first […]
Royals vs Padres, July 19 game discussion
The Royals have won their first two games out of the All-Star Break. They will look to sweep the scuffling San Diego Padres this afternoon, with Noah Cameron on the bump.

Timely double plays lead to a second straight Royals victory
Four batters into the game, the Royals had all the runs they would need as they cruised to a 6-1 victory over the San Diego Padres. That gives them a series victory and gives them a chance at a sweep in their first series since the All-Star Break. Randy Dobnak got the spot start in […]
Royals vs Padres, July 18 game discussion
Here’s the good news: After winning a wild game last night, the Royals have a shot to take the series with a W this afternoon. The bad news: They’re going to have to do it with Randy Dobnak taking a turn in the rotation because Stephen Kolek needs a tune-up start for Omaha (also occurring […]
Kansas City Royals news: Will the Royals sell at the deadline?
David Lesky has a Royals trade primer that includes the possibility they trade Michael Wacha. The Royals have said that they will listen, but the offer would have to be astronomical. First of all, that’s probably the correct mindset to have this far from the deadline, at least on what they’d accept. But I hate […]
Royals walk off game after wild tenth inning
The Royals wasted opportunity after opportunity all night until, finally, they didn’t. Carter Jensen got his first walk-off hit as a Royal with a two-run single in the bottom of the tenth to give the Royals a 7-6 victory. Seth Lugo had a really good bounce-back start tonight. He only struck out 3 while walking […]
Padres vs Royals, July 17 game discussion
Two starts ago, Seth Lugo faced off against his original big league team in a wild game that the Royals ultimately won despite him pitching quite poorly. He will look to do better today against his other former club, the one that first gave him a shot to resume starting after what had seemed a […]
Padres series preview: The second half begins
The Royals put a frustrating first half behind them and open the second half by hosting the Padres. This is just the fourth time ever the Padres have come to town, with the Royals dropping the series the last time they played at the K in 2024. The Padres have a $200+ million payroll, but […]

Royals first-half grade cards
Following back-to-back winning seasons, the Royals had designs on contending this year. Much of the season hinged on the development of young hitters Carter Jensen and Jac Caglianone, and those two seem to be coming around as key parts of the lineup. Bobby Witt Jr. continues to play at an MVP level, and Michael Wacha […]
Kansas City Royals news: Frustration in the first half
Pete Grathoff writes the “F” word is the theme of the first half for the Royals. “Frustration is one word. You know, disappointment, anger, every emotion that you can think of,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Sunday. “I mean we’re battling, not getting any results, and it stinks. Everybody’s frustrated. Everybody in here puts in […]
