Finally! It’s a cornucopia of Royals roster moves! Eh. Not really. It’s more about subtle shifts in the teutonic plates before the big shakeup that’s looming on the horizion. Still, in the early darkness of winter, it’s something to talk (and write) about. Onward. The Royals Sign Mike Morin To A One Year Deal As […]

The Callups
The Royals announced their first wave of call-ups to the majors for September. The players are: Paulo Orlando Terrance Gore Raul Mondesi Cam Gallagher Andres Machado The first four on this list should come as no surprise, but one name that was included and another that wasn’t may surprise some fans. First, the one name […]
Homecoming
With the current nucleus assembled and ready for one last shot at glory, Dayton Moore set to add another complimentary piece by acquiring Melky Cabrera from Chicago on Sunday afternoon. It’s a sort of homecoming for Cabrera, who hit .305/.339/.470 for the Royals in 2011. He was an important part of a strong offensive team […]

Royals Sending Mixed Messages
The organization that doesn’t panic even when panic is warranted might be a little more apt to panic in 2017. Dayton Moore has said many times that he doesn’t even begin to make moves for his team until they’ve reached the 40-game mark. That’s sound logic that many have a hard time following because 40 […]
Play Ball
The Royals set their Opening Day roster with a flurry of moves that played like a version of connect the dots. First, they placed newcomer Jorge Soler to the 10-day DL with a strained oblique. The move is retroactive to March 30, so if Soler is ready, the first day he can return would be […]
Turning Terrance Gore Into an Everyday Weapon
Over the past few months (months, only because I am lazy!), I have been conversing with Derek Johannsen with regard to his thoughts on the Royals’ Terrance Gore. Derek was routed my way as a result of a handful of articles I wrote over the course of 2016 on the subject of Gore. As some […]
Gore In Motion
The Royals started 2016 with Terrance Gore on their 25 man roster. He was there for one reason and one reason only: to run. Having a speedy guy on the bench is hardly unique, but having one whose only real major league baseball skill is running the bases is. One writer, advocating having just such […]
