The Royals remain home, but get to return to facing American League teams as the team they defeated in the 2015 ALCS comes to town. That’s right, friends. It’s Blue Jays week, which doesn’t really mean anything, but it could have if both teams had stayed good a little longer. The Blue Jays were a […]

For Starters, the Royals Might Be Okay
In one week, Royals pitchers and catchers will report to spring training in Surprise to begin the 2018 season.

Series Preview: Royals at Chicago White Sox, September 22-24
