We will pick 6th in the 2026 MLB Draft.

Check out our latest episode, live on @royalsreview.bsky.social! We spent most of the episode discussing some of Kansas City's worst free-agent deals, and there are plenty of options. Is there someone we missed, or a bad contract that is the WORST? See here: www.royalsreview.com/royals-revie...

Happy Thanksgiving, Royals fans!

I tried to be fair and realistic in my latest piece for Kings of Kauffman. Jac Caglianone carries heavy expectations as we head into 2026, but if worst comes to worst when should fans begin to panic? What factor could potentially cause a slow start to the season? kingsofkauffman.com/how-long-of-...

Grateful for moments like these and the best photographers in the game. 💙 Photos by Jason Hanna and Amy Kontras.

I am just saying, 100% of the time it works every time. #Royals #AdamFrazier

Talked with new #Royals assistant pitching coach Mike McFerran about his time with Wake Forest, the A's and how excited he is now to join KC. He likes to say he got his PhD in pitching at Wake Forest. Now he's applying it all in pro ball:

I just turned down a sportsbook sponsoring the podcast, and I'm grateful to have my co-host @hokius.fromthehawkseye.com backing the decision. I would love to generate more revenue to reinvest in the pod, but not at the expense of our values or conscience.

Should MLB adopt a salary cap? It depends on the problem you’re trying to solve.

For 28 teams, the 2025 season is in the books and has been for dynasty managers for quite some time. The year brought plenty of twists and turns, but how do they impact 2026 and beyond? My latest up on Pitcher List:

Another tin foil hat moment for Jeremy in our latest podcast 👀 After the latest #Royals coaching news, is @hokius.fromthehawkseye.com on to something here?

I am very grateful to @pglancy.bsky.social for sharing this story this week, not for the clicks, but for giving me the opportunity to reread it. Many sports articles focus on the moment or the latest rumor, and often have a short lifespan. This one is different. kingsofkauffman.com/posts/kc-roy...

If you're a #Royals fan looking for a rooting interest in the postseason, check out this excellent article by my former KoK peer @jmilhamkc.bsky.social about the Red Sox's Nate Eaton. He's playing right now! Eaton, not Jacob. kingsofkauffman.com/posts/kc-roy...

Gold Glover.

Been dealing with some stuff and didn't have it in me to write about last night, but one thing I'd like to point out is the #Royals numbers against rookies this season: .264/.334/.443 w/ a .337 wOBA 6th in average 11th in OBP 7th in SLG 7th in wOBA Last night sucked, but the narrative is wrong.

#Royals lefty Cole Ragans is scheduled for a live BP session tomorrow. First time he'll be facing hitters in his recovery. Big step.

CARTER JENSEN IS ON DECK

My #Royals fun meter is in the basement tonight.

I know @hokius.fromthehawkseye.com said not to take him too seriously, but it is hard to ignore his former All-Star comparison for Tyler Tolbert 👀 Listen to the full episode here 👉 open.spotify.com/episode/5kDn...

A certain co-host of mine made this exact point on the latest episode of Royals Rundown Podcast. Hear it first from them right here: open.spotify.com/episode/5kDn...

Drafted just over a month ago, outfielder Luke Nowak already plays like a Royal. Relentless and aggressive. 👊 #RaisingRoyals👑

The Royals’ 8-2 homestand by the numbers: • 55 R (5.5 r/g), .272/.364/.503, .276 RISP • 19 HR, 12.0% BB, 19.4% K • 3.83 SP ERA in 49.1 IP • 2.21 RP ERA in 40.2 IP, 13 HLD, 6 SV The eight wins tie a franchise record for a 10-game homestand. 📸: Amy Kontras

Kansas City's odds have moved up marginally since this post, playing .500 ball, but are up to 24.2% chance. They are chasing the Mariners for that third Wild Cart spot, only two games out with five weeks left in the season.

Denny Matthews just called this first inning "early BP for the Royals" 😭😭😭 Denny Demon Mode

Vinnie does it again!!

Wake up #Royals fans. Kansas City is only 2.5 games out of a Wild Card spot and their FanGraphs playoff odds are up to 23.9%. Hope is a dangerous thing.
