Few have had a greater impact on every facet of the Royals organization—from the field, to the booth, to the front office—than John Wathan. So much so, that you may have been surprised that he wasn't *already* in the Royals Hall of Fame. A richly-deserved honor. Duke!

Excited for a new era of the Royals on television!

Back with our faves. 💙 A special thank you to all who joined us today for Royals Rally!

An exciting change! Fascinated to see how it unfolds. The K has long been a hitter’s park (low K%, high BABIP) despite suppressing home runs. Also curious about the defensive impact with less ground to cover in corner OF spots + shorter wall height. And love that they maintained the symmetry!

We have agreed to 2026 contracts with the following players, avoiding arbitration: OF Kyle Isbel LHP Bailey Falter RHP John Schreiber RHP Nick Mears INF Michael Massey LHP Daniel Lynch IV

We have agreed to a three-year contract extension with Manager Matt Quatraro! The extension will begin in 2027, with a club option for the 2030 season.

Happy New Year, Royals fans! 🎊

You won’t find a better left side of the infield in baseball than what the Royals have, and have for years to come. 25-year-old Bobby Witt Jr. at SS. 25-year-old Maikel Garcia at 3B. Both top-15 in MLB in fWAR in 2025. Both All-Stars. Both Gold Glovers.

Gold for Garcia! Maikel Garcia brings home his first Gold Glove Award!

Run it back, Jr.! Bobby Witt Jr. brings home his second consecutive Gold Glove Award!

Epic Game 7. Epic World Series. Congrats to the Dodgers, the first repeat champs in MLB in a quarter-century. Bravo, Blue Jays, on an incredible season. Until Spring, baseball.

Just kidding, it’s even better. INSANE 9th inning. Extra innings in Game 7 of the World Series!

🗣️ Annual Halloween reminder: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are named after H.B. Reese. It’s a name with one e at the end, which is why “Reese’s” has an apostrophe & is not pronounced “ree-sees.” It’s Reese’s. (And they’re the best.)

Our top 5 Bobby web gems from this season. 🔥 What's your #1?

First Chiefs game. It’s loud. Let’s go!

Jubilation for the Blue Jays. Heartbreak (again) for the Mariners. What a Game 7.

One team to the World Series for the first time in 32 years. One team to the World Series for the first time ever. Game 7 tomorrow to decide it. Neutrals rejoice. Respective fanbases are already out of fingernails.

Shohei Ohtani’s performance in Game 4 of the 2025 NLCS is the stuff of baseball legend. Simply put, it’s the greatest individual game in postseason history: • 3-for-3, 3 HR, BB • 6.0+ IP, 2 H, 0 R/ER, 3 BB, 10 K And in a pennant-clincher, no less.

That’s a wrap on the 2025 season. The Kansas City Royals end the year with a win & finish with a winning record at 82-80. Thank you for tuning in all season long. An honor & a joy to share these games with you. Until 2026!

Carter Jensen just hit a mammoth home run for his third hit of the afternoon. On a 3-0 pitch, he smacked a 482-foot blast that nearly cleared the berm in RF at Sutter Health Park. It's the *longest home run by a Royal in the Statcast era (2015-pres.).*
