Spring Training game thread XXII – Royals at Athletics
In one week, the Royals will play their final Cactus League game of 2026. In two weeks, the Royals will be preparing to play their second game of the season. If we can hang on just a little bit longer, we can make it all the way to Regular Season 2026 Baseball! But until then, […]
Kansas City Royals news: Will the Royals be drinking espressos after home runs?
Anne Rogers gives a roster projection with two weeks to go. If Massey is healthy enough to make the team, there’s just one spot really up for grabs here. Loftin has been a standout this spring, from his .308/.400/.654 slash line to getting a ton of defensive work all over the field, including a lot of […]
Spring Training game thread XXI – Diamondbacks at Royals
The WBC Quarterfinals start tonight, including Team USA facing off against Team Canada. But if you can tear your eyes away from that, you can see the debut of Eric Hosmer on the Royals TV broadcast in Surprise, Arizona. It should be a good time. Here’s the lineup: Speaking of team USA in the WBC, […]

Eight things I love about Bobby and Vinnie’s spring training house
Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino are not only terrific ballplayers for the Royals and World Baseball Classic, they seem to be genuine friends. For the past two years, they have been roomies in spring training in Arizona in a house that they call “The Wittz-Carlton.” MLB film crews caught up with the boys in […]
What Royals pitcher had your favorite pitch?
Careers are made on a signature pitch. Nolan Ryan’s fastball. Sandy Koufax’s curve. Mariano Rivera’s cutter. Over the years, the Kansas City Royals have had plenty of pitchers with a signature offering that defined their style on the mound. What Royals pitcher had your favorite pitch? Here are some of my favorites: Tell me your […]
Royals announce local and national TV schedule
The Royals announced today that all 162 games will be televised, including 13 as part of a national television package. The remaining 149 games will air on Royals.TV, the new channel created by the Royals after they ended their partnership with Diamond Sports, the group that owned FanDuel Sports Kansas City. Here is where you […]
Royals Take the World Stage: WBC Drama, Vinnie’s Leadership, Spring Updates
International baseball drama, rising Royals stars, and spring training momentum — this episode has it all. In the latest episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco break down the Kansas City Royals’ strong presence in the World Baseball Classic, highlighting standout performances and unforgettable moments from the tournament. From Vinnie […]
Better know your enemy: The Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians seemingly do nothing each offseason, plug-and-play guys, and keep winning. They have had just one losing season since 2012, with eight playoff appearances in that time. Constancy. Sweet, sweet constancy. The downside is they have just one pennant in that time, and have not won a championship since 1948. The team did make […]
Kansas City Royals news: The latest in Vinnie and Bobby’s bromance
At The Star, Jaylon Thompson writes that we shouldn’t sleep on Nick Mears, the other player acquired in the Angel Zerpa trade: Mears has great analytical numbers. Per Statcast, he recorded a 33.5% chase rate — ranking in the 93rd percentile among qualified major-league pitchers. He also demonstrated good command, with just 2.1 walks allowed […]
Royals vs. Padres Spring Training game thread
The Kansas City Royals went 0-for-2 yesterday in split-squad action and will regroup against the San Diego Padres. The two teams face off in Peoria Sports Complex down in Arizona, with left-handed pitcher Kris Bubic taking the mound. Things have been rough for the boys in blue since the World Baseball Classic began. With players […]
Give me your hottest take about the 2026 Royals
We’re in an era of sports hot takes. Want to yell about sports on TV (or for you younger folks, on social media), have a hot take! But some hot takes have the benefit of being true. We’re still a few weeks from the Royals season opener against the Braves. Do you have a different […]
Royals Reacts Survey: Out of left field
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Royals fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Spring Training is rapidly drawing to a close, and while the Royals have a variety of […]
Hopefully Bobby Witt Jr. discovers a joy of leadoff hitting from the WBC
Arguably the most consistent debate in Kansas City sports over the last two years is about who should be the Kansas City Royals’ leadoff hitter. After shuffling around multiple guys in the spot in 2024, the Royals went out and acquired Jonathan India last season to explicitly fill the job. That didn’t quite work, and […]
Kansas City Royals News: Vinnie Pasquantino is America’s Hero
If you didn’t watch the WBC game last night, Royals 1st baseman Vinnie Pasquantino saved Team USA’s bacon with his historic 3 home run game over Mexico. It was quite the evening for Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino, who put on a show for Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic. Pasquantino hit […]
Royals vs Giants vs Cubs spring training thread
Down in the desert, the Royals are dividing-and-conquering today. At Surprise Stadium, a group led by the likes of Jonathan India, Carter Jensen, and Starling Marte face the Giants. At Sloan Park, Kyle Isbel, John Rave, and Tyler Tolbert lead a group against the Cubs. Split Squad Lineups for 3/11/26 Here are the lineups for […]
Who should be in the Royals’ starting rotation?
The Royals have impressive depth in the starting rotation, and that’s by design. J.J. Picollo has talked before about the need to have eight, nine, or even ten starting pitchers to get through a season, recognizing the high attrition rate among pitchers. The Royals have three recent All-Stars in Cole Ragans, Seth Lugo, and Kris […]
Let’s make a Kansas City-themed Royals home run celebration
The 2026 World Baseball Classic has been great viewing for my baseball-deprived soul. I really struggle to pay attention to or care about Spring Training games, unless there is a pitcher’s velocity drop to freak out about. Mix that same baseball with a dose of patriotism and nationalism, however, and I’m all the way back […]
Managing expectations
Recently I read a story written by a man who suffered a catastrophic fall in his home that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down. Fortunately, his wife was at home, heard the fall, and rushed to his aid, moving him so his airway was open. Had she not been home, he would have asphyxiated. […]
Kansas City Royals news: KC front and center in marquee WBC action
Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. had his World Baseball Classic coming-out party earlier this week. DeRosa said one of his biggest regrets from that WBC is that Witt didn’t play more. But it wasn’t as if there was an opening. U.S. shortstop Trea Turner was an all-tournament selection after batting .391 with five […]
Royals vs. Mariners Spring Training thread
With their best players playing elsewhere, the Kansas City Royals are 6-9 (nice). And in today’s contest, they’ll face a team with a worse Spring Training record: the 4-12 Seattle Mariners. It’s the Battle for Grass Creek, in other words, but a preseason version. The Royals will send Cole Ragans to the mound. As a […]
What was your favorite defensive play in Royals history?
The amazing plays by Bobby Witt Jr. in the World Baseball Classic yesterday had me thinking about Royals defense. He has dazzled us just a few years into his playing career, but Royals fans have really been spoiled by great defense over the years. There was Amos Otis, then Willie Wilson flying around the outfield. […]
The bottom of the Royals’ lineup can’t be that bad again… right?
Impatiently waiting for the real season to start tends to make me overly optimistic about everything. That is how I found myself looking for some way to figure out how many more runs this team will score relative to last year’s offense. In the end, I did not completely change my opinion, but I am […]
26 oddly specific predictions for the 2026 Kansas City Royals
Last weekend, my youngest son did something that amazed me so much that I decided to write this column. In our kitchen, we have this block calendar—it has two numbered block that you can use to count down to some event. It has options for months, weeks, and days, too. We don’t always use it, […]
Kansas City Royals News: Bobby Witt Jr. flashes the leather
DID YOU SEE THAT PLAY LAST NIGHT FROM BOBBY WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE *Heavy breathing intensifies* That’s my shortstop. Jaylon Thompson also wrote about the same plays. How about some more coverage of those two plays from MLB dot com? Royals.tv will allow viewers to watch Thursday and Friday’s games for free. Games will air […]
