I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving. For those of you who are like me and have two full Thanksgiving meals with two families, I hope you’re not nearly as full still today as I am. Worth it, though. I always think about how Thanksgiving is a day where nothing in baseball happens, but then […]

Royals Add Three to Roster Ahead of Rule 5 Deadline
With teams meeting the deadline to add players to their 40-man roster, the Royals added three pitchers on Tuesday in Scott Blewett, Josh Staumont and Arnaldo Hernandez. The three prospects find themselves on the roster after different career paths to date. In Staumont and Blewett, the Royals have a pair of 2nd round picks from the […]
Friday Notes
The trade of Lucas Duda to the Braves along with September starting gives Royals fans something to be excited for at the end of a long, difficult season. I’m guessing the Royals won’t bring up everybody everyone wants to see, but it’s another opportunity for them to add some younger talent to the roster to […]

If The Royals Can’t Be Good, They Could At Least Be Entertaining
Even with the extremely low expectations I had for this Royals season (my preseason prediction of a 72-90 record looks ridiculous now), this has been a bummer of a year. The boys in blue are on pace for 114 losses. In my defense, even the mothership’s PECOTA preseason projections had them at 66-96. They really […]
