http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kansascitybaseballvault/2017/10/12/times-they-are-a-changin-bp-kansas-city-episode-74.mp3 One thing we’re sure of is that the 2018 Royals will look quite different than what we’re used to. How different? We’ll see. The big free agents are likely to go elsewhere, but with an opening in Atlanta, Dayton Moore’s name has come up again as a candidate for GM. Would he leave Kansas City? […]

If Royals Keep Hosmer, They Can’t Subtract
It’s going to be weird to see any of the longtime Royals players in a different uniform next season, just like it’s been weird to see guys like Jarrod Dyson, Wade Davis and Billy Butler in different digs. The reality is that at least some of them will be on the visiting team next year […]
Friday Notes
For two years, we didn’t have to worry about what the offseason was like when nothing was going to happen. Your favorite team not making the playoffs is no fun in October. Sure, the postseason is actually fun to watch and you don’t go gray because you aren’t as into the outcome, but there just […]
Memories (BP Kansas City Episode 73)
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/kansascitybaseballvault/2017/10/04/memories-bp-kansas-city-episode-73.mp3 This week was pretty simple.

Who Is The Royals MVP?
It’s all over but the hardware. The Royals closed their 2017 campaign with 80 wins and a spot on the sidelines for the postseason. It was a disappointing finish to a season that opened with such promise. (At least before they actually started playing games. Damn, April was awful.) Still, there were individual performances of […]
Fin.
I’ve literally nothing to add when it comes to the outcome of Sunday’s season finale—a drubbing which guaranteed the Kansas City Royals a losing record for the first time since 2012. The Arizona Diamondbacks, who are a very, very good baseball team and legitimate threat to bring a World Series back to the desert, soundly […]
One Final Time Around The Bases
The Royals return home Tuesday for their final home stand of the 2017 season. We’re about a week away from the depressing reality that baseball will take it’s annual leave from us. Another October without baseball. Blah. It’s not just any final set of games at The K. With a number of players likely leaving […]
The Dynasty That Wasn’t?
Here we are, at the end of the Royals’ championship window for this group of players. I know, the Royals have made some noise about re-signing their impending free agents, but I’ll believe that when I see it. Odds are, the key players are going to be too expensive, and at any rate there is […]
Friday Notes
This is it. We’re down to 10 games to go in the 2017 season for the Kansas City Royals, and they’re still technically alive. What’s crazy is they’re alive for pretty much the same reason they’ve stayed alive this long and it’s that nobody is willing to run away with this thing. Of course, now […]
BPKC Minor League Player of the Year
This season was a test for many Royals minor league players, with many getting their first test at new levels, encountering struggles or dealing with injuries. One player’s challenge was to be left behind at the previous level that he had performed at the year prior. Some players may have taken this as a negative, but the […]
