Spring Training Game Thread IV
In today’s spring training matchup, the Royals take on the Cubs. We’ll get our first look at Seth Lugo after his injury-plagued 2025 season.

Will the Royals use a six-man rotation this season?
At the end of January, I wrote an article about the Kansas City Royals potentially moving a starting pitcher for prospects.
