Former Florida slugger Jac Caglianone started his MLB career just 2-for-21 at the plate, but he made good contact despite not racking up many hits. It seemed just a matter of time until he started connecting and putting them in play.

A much-needed win to wrap up the road trip
The Royals were in desperate need of a win to avoid being swept by the White Sox, and after Michael Lorenzen gave up a 2-run homer in the first inning, things weren’t looking great.
But a Vinnie Pasquantino single and a two-run blast from Salvador Perez in the fourth tied the game at 2.

Must win game against the Southsiders
After a series win against the Cardinals in St. Louis, things were looking good for the Royals on their weeklong, six game road trip. Already 2-1 on the trip, a winning road trip felt guaranteed as they were on their way to the southside of Chicago to take on the worst team in the American League.
The offense was riding high after scoring 22 runs in three games in St. Louis. Well... The Royals promptly have lost the first...

Yikes...
Yesterday, the Royals played their first game in Chicago against the White Sox in a three-game series, coming away with a disappointing 7-2 loss. Today felt no different as missed opportunities on offense and some early struggles for Michael Wacha resulted in a 4-1 loss. Today's loss ensured a series loss for the Royals against the White Sox, who entered today with the second-worst record in the MLB.
It was a story many Royals fans have...

The Royals need a win after last night’s brutal loss
The Royals lost their worst game of the season, perhaps their worst loss of the Picollo/Quatraro era, last night. It was not made better by Q’s flacid argument that essentially boiled down to, “It could have worked.”
Given that the Royals are playing one of the worst teams in baseball, they need to find a...
The Royals announced that right-hander Trevor Richards’ minor league contract has been selected to the 26-man roster.
The Kansas City Royals have made a roster move to bolster their pitching staff, selecting the contract of right-hander Trevor Richards from Triple-A. In a corresponding transaction, right-hander Jonathan Bowlan has been optioned to Triple-A Omaha.

A five-run outburst that was hard to watch.
After a doubleheader cleared most of the bullpen yesterday, the Royals were scraping to pull together four good innings after Seth Lugo put down five shaky innings to keep the game close. Heading into the eighth inning, the game was tied at 2-2.
Unfortunately, the bullpen was not up to the task.
The game completely unraveled in the eighth inning, as Jonathan Bowlan was unable to make any good...

Royals could use a sweep here.
The lowly 20-43 White Sox, though not as lowly as the Rockies, welcome the 33-30 Royals to Chicago for a three-game weekend series. Coming off a series win against the Cardinals, the Royals offense has been showing signs of life by scoring 10, 5, and 7 runs in the three games.
Of course, eyes remain on Jac Caglianone. The large lad made his debut this past week but has just one hit in 13 plate...

The White Sox might not be as bad as last year, but they’re still pretty awful and the Royals need to take advantage
At this point last year, the White Sox were on their way to the history books in a bad way with a 15-47 record. As has been the refrain for them all season, they’re doing slightly better this year, but...

Pasquatch comes alive
I know that there was no Player of the Week last week. I have no fancy reason why—I just forgot to do one. So it goes.
Fortunately for one Vinnie Pasquantino, I did not forget to do one this week. And the Pasquatch...

The outfielder has a well-rounded skill set.
With the calendar turning to June, we continue evaluating prospects that the Royals could target in the first round of this summer’s draft. Today we look at a position player prospect that burst onto the scene a year ago: Wake Forest’s Ethan Conrad.
Conrad was born in Poughkeepsie, New York and grew up in nearby Saugerties. He played baseball at Saugerties Senior High School, where he pitched and played...

Ragans has struggled with locating his pitches during his recent rough stretch
The Kansas City Royals just took two of three games against the St Louis Cardinals thanks to some strong offensive showings, which we haven’t been able to say very much this year. It was good to see the hitters pick up the pitchers for a change; it’s a long season, and good teams will be able to win both on the strength of their pitching and hitting.
Royals starter Cole Ragans needed the...

I know it was just a doubleheader split and the first game was a letdown, but it was really nice to take 2 of 3
After the games were over last night the Royals signed RHP Justin Dunn to a minor league deal, per Jaylon Thompson.
Thompson also wrote about the other (perplexing?) roster moves yesterday:
Cameron didn’t have to wait long. The Royals designated right-handed pitcher Thomas Hatch for assignment — he’d...

Royals split the double header and the season series with their I-70 rival
For the third game in a row, the game got off to a hot start with another first-inning home run for the Royals. Bobby Witt Jr was able to hammer a 115 mph one-out single, and then was followed up by a line drive opposite field home run by Maikel Garcia. The offense once again started hot, and today they gave Cole Ragans a two-run cushion as he returns from injury and puts the...
With two months of the 2025 MLB season under our belt, newcomers are starting to settle into their new environments. In Cincinnati and Kansas City’s case, they swung a move in the offseason that shipped 2021 NL Rookie of the Year Jonathan India to Kansas City for his former Florida Gator teammate, Brady Singer.

Game two of the double header, this one is for the series
The Royals took a devastating loss in St Louis in their first game of the doubleheader that came at the hands of Wilson Contreras, who hit a walk-off single against Carlos Estevez in the bottom of the tenth. Now with the season series at 2-3, the Royals will look to knot things up with their I-70 rival in game two.
The Royals' offense is in the midst of a breakout series, where they have...
It's not clear whether a turnaround this quick was the plan or whether yet another sensational start from rookie Noah Cameron forced the team’s hand.
Kansas City Royals Starting Pitcher Noah Cameron has continued taking the league by storm. He had another great start this afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals.
