Very well might be a question without an answer.
On Tuesday, the National Baseball Hall of Fame will announce its newest class of inductees. Here at Royals Review, our writers took a look at the ballot and voted a few weeks ago. That’s just one of—what?—hundreds, if not thousands, of articles across the land about the Hall of Fame and who will get the call. Like every year, discussion explodes regarding the candidates.
Will Ichiro get inducted...
We salute Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
David Lesky looks at the non-roster invitees to spring training.
Let’s see, Biggio is interesting as an NRI given where he was just a few years ago. I don’t think he makes the team. Devanney is a guy who I think should be a utility infielder in the big leagues right now because he can hit a little and can play shortstop capably. Tolbert has been in camp before. We know he can fly and can play infield and outfield. Vaz was in camp last year...

The Royals bring in another potential bench option.
The Royals announced they have signed utility player Harold Castro to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training. The 31-year-old is a six-year MLB vet with the Tigers and Rockies and has played every position on the field except catcher. For his career he has hit .278/.303/.366 with 16 home runs in 450 games.
Castro was originally signed by the Tigers out of Venezuela and made his...

Looking at RBIs from a different angle and adding some context can show who the truly elite run producers are.

The Royals welcome new international signees to the fold.
Jaylon Thompson writes about the Royals’ international signing class.
“We are excited to welcome such a diverse and talented group of players into our organization,” longtime Royals executive Rene Francisco said in a news release.
Calcaño is projected to be a shortstop in the majors. Scouts have raved about his defensive instincts and arm. And he brings added value with his ability to hit from...
The Mets have been exploring ways to reshape their roster ahead of the 2025 season, and one of the names at the center of trade discussions is veteran outfielder Starling Marte.

The future is in their hands.
The Royals announced their minor league coaching staffs for 2025, with few changes. Mike Jirschele will begin his 34th year in the organization, again leading the Omaha Storm Chasers in Triple-A.
Assisting Jirschele in Omaha will be returning hitting coach Bijan Rademacher, pitching coach Dane Johnson, and assistant pitching coach David Lundquist....

As spring training inches closer, free agents are looking for options.
Pitchers and catchers will report to spring training in less than a month, yet several big free agents remain unsigned. Pete Alonso, Ha-Seong Kim, Alex Bregman, Anthony Santander, Jurickson Profar, Jack Flaherty, and Tanner Scott are just some of the players that remain unsigned.
The slow market has caused at least a few free agents to consider a short-term deal, according to Ken...
Ever wanted to hit against the pros?
A few weeks ago, I was channel surfing and came across a show that had professional golfers playing a simulated round of golf inside of a large building in front of a live audience. My first thought was, what in the Sam Hill is this mess? I wanted to change the channel but the longer I watched the harder it became. I wanted to see what happened next.
If you follow golf, you know I’m talking about Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s brainchild, TGL Golf....

We have reached the winter lull of the baseball season
Oh, boy. We’ve really hit the winter doldrums. The last story from The Star was last week when Lorenzen signed.
There hasn’t been a new story on the Royals site since Tuesday. Their last Tweet was Monday about the Royals Rally.
MLB Pipeline reminded us that the Royals Spring...

Why not?
Ever since Kansas City Royals majority owner John Sherman floated the idea of a new Royals stadium in September 2021, Royals fans and city residents alike have wondered about the location for where this new stadium would be. In April 2024, Jackson County Voters rejected a proposal that would have placed the new stadium in the Crossroads Arts District just south of the T-Mobile Center, necessitating a new site (or a new proposal) for the stadium.
In the long timeline of the Royals...

Were you part of the Royals international amateur class?
Cole Ragans joined MLB Network Radio to discuss his offseason throwing program:
Baseball America has a scouting report on Kansas City’s international amateur class ($):
Dominican shortstop Ramcell Medina, signing for $950,000, has been an up-arrow player. Early on, Medina looked like he might end up a power-hitting third baseman, but he has grown taller, stayed lean and continues to impress at the...

Baseball is international.
Today marks the beginning of a new international signing period, as teams will welcome fresh-faced young players - mostly from Latin America - into their organizations. The international market can be a crapshoot - teams are gambling on teenagers who are barely old enough to drive in the United States, hoping their bodies fill out, they can hit professional breaking balls, and that their given birth certificate is...

It’s International Signing Day and the Royals have brought another class for 2025
The start of the international signing period for 2025 has begun. Many players have agreed to sign with teams, but today is officially the day they can make those contracts official. 2025 is a bit different as pitcher Roki Sasaki is available to sign. Having him part of this international class may cause some chaos and potential changes.
As of now, the Royals are expected to sign six...

The wait for Arizona action continues.
MLB’s Anne Rogers details the catching hierarchy for the Kansas City Royals heading into spring training.
But as we’ll see below, catching is a real strength of the organization. It’s also fair to wonder how many games Perez will catch. He logged 765 innings behind the plate last year but also a career high in innings at first base with 392 1/3. There’s no doubt that helps Perez stay...
It seemed apparent that the outfield was the most significant need for the Royals this offseason. Yet, they've done nothing. Santander could help.

Should the Royals pursue Joey Gallo?
When I started exploring potential free agents the Kansas City Royals might target with less than a month until pitchers and catchers report, the usual suspects came to mind. Outfielder Anthony Santander seemed like a great fit, especially with reports suggesting he might settle for a short-term deal this offseason. Third baseman Alex Bregman’s elite ceiling could make him the perfect running mate for Bobby Witt...
