Royals Mexicute a Three Team Deal
The Royals, Dodgers and White Sox worked a three-team deal out Thursday evening that might be more about the long-term ramifications in terms of payroll than the players that Kansas City received. White Sox Receive Joakim Soria RH Reliever Luis Avilan The White Sox add a pair of relievers who they can put toward the back end […]
Friday Notes
Thanksgiving is one of those benchmarks of the offseason for me. Usually, it’s pretty slow ahead of the holiday and then once the weekend ends, rumors start to get going hot and heavy. There’ll be talk of this player here and that player there to lead up to the winter meetings in a couple weeks, […]
Friday Notes
I imagine Royals fans will be blaring some Sarah McLachlan in the coming months as we watch the core of the championship club begin to sign elsewhere. This upcoming weekend, for me at least and probably many others, is about getting to see these guys in Royals blue one last time if they do indeed […]
Moustakas tags No. 36, Alexander holds on in Royals win
The ninth inning of this game had no business being remotely interesting, let alone with the bases loaded, two down, in a one-run game. Yet here we were mere moments ago, watching helplessly as Scott Alexander loaded the bases after Kelvin Herrera was pulled—again—due to injury—again—leaving Alexander to clean up the mess. And Alexander delivered. […]
Deep Royals Bullpen Is Built For October
The Royals made it to the World Series in back-to-back seasons pretty recently. You may not remember this, but 2014 and 2015 were very special seasons in Kansas City. The Royals rode a ridiculous defense along with an unreal back of the bullpen to two straight American League pennants and a World Series trophy. It […]
Minor Happenings
Heating Up in Omaha – Winter quickly flew through the midwest this year leaving near 80-degree temperatures this past weekend. Things don’t look like they will cool down anytime soon for the Storm Chasers who could present quite the rotation for the Triple-A Royals squad. With an excellent spring to date, Josh Staumont may have […]
Wake Me Up When September Begins
I’m not actually going to sleep all day or anything, but September has a chance to be a really fun month for the Royals. For one thing, you may have heard that they’re actually in the race, so rather than watching prospects prepare for the 2017 season, the final month is going to matter for […]
The Academy – Minor League Roster Breakdown, Part 2
The Storm Chasers announced their roster on Tuesday while some of the other squads in the Royals system were naming their rotations and readying themselves for the minor league seasons opening day today. The Chasers squad in 2016 will look a little different than they have in the past with a group of major league […]
Royals Roster Coming Into Focus
One thing I like to do at the beginning of spring training is take a look at the whole spring roster and pick out my 25-man roster. It’s sort of like an NCAA tournament bracket, though, because slowly but surely the real thing begins to look very different than what I predicted. This year was […]
