Latest news and updates about the Royals
I’d seen last night that the Twins were at .500And had a chance to keep winning streaks along,And out they came, and we hoped for skillful playing,But then everything we hoped ended wrong, ‘Cause the Royals, they said, “Sit down,Sit down, no gettin’ on base,“And Dobnak, he said, “Sit down,You’ve all got egg on your […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
In the offseason, the Atlanta Braves appeared to have an embarrassment of riches in their starting rotation. Not only was the group full, but Atlanta looked like it would have to make some difficult decisions just to narrow the rotation down to five starters. Chris Sale was the unquestioned ace of the staff. Spencer Schwellenbach […] The post Are the Royals the Perfect Trade Partner for the Braves? appeared first on Just Baseball .
We’re less than a week away from Monday’s trade deadline! Activity has yet to really pick up outside of a fascinating pitcher for hitter swap between the Nationals and Red Sox over the weekend. There have otherwise been mostly depth moves. The compressed standings mean all but six teams (the Angels, A’s, Royals, Rockies, Mets […]
The Twins offense tonight could only be described as groundball happy, get ready to read the words “double play” about a million times. In the 1st, 2 on and 1 out, Kody Clemens hits into an inning ending double play. In the 2nd inning, Luke Keaschall ends the inning with their second double play. They […]
Royce Lewis hit a two-run double with two outs in the ninth to walk off the Royals tonight. The victory brought the Twins back to .500 and within a half-game of the Guardians for the AL’s last Wild Card spot. They’re in third place in the AL Central and just 2.5 back of the White […]
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 […]
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 […]

The Kansas City Royals are 17 games below .500 and figure to be sellers at the MLB trade deadline, but that reportedly doesn't mean Salvador Perez will be on the move.
The date is Nov. 4, 2024. The Kansas City Royals are coming off their first postseason appearance since their 2015 World Series title. It was a breakthrough season fueled by MVP-caliber play from Bobby Witt Jr. and one of the game’s most effective pitching staffs headlined by Cole Ragans, Seth Lugo, and Michael Wacha. The […] The post Should the Royals Trade Michael Wacha at the Deadline? appeared first on Just Baseball .

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, […]
Representatives of the Kansas City Royals and the Crown Center Redevelopment Corporation held a required public hearing on their rezoning proposals for a new Royals stadium complex yesterday, and and they absolutely heard from the public: “We already said no to a downtown baseball stadium, and here it comes back again,” said Mary Ellen Vincent, a […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Framber Valdez was mediocre at best once again on Sunday. Despite not swinging the bats well in this series, the Tigers did fight back and take a lead into the late innings, but once again their makeshift bullpen couldn’t lock it down. The Royals came back on a two-run homer by Michael Massey in the […]
After blowing a three-run lead in the 5th inning, the Royals trailed 4-3 heading to the 8th. Michael Massey delivered, with a left on left, go-ahead two-run homer into the right field seats, putting the Royals up 5-4. They would hold that lead and earn a split in the Motor City. The Royals immediately jumped […]
