The Kansas City Royals have made several changes to their bullpen in preparation for the 2019 season, which is good because their bullpen was among the worst in baseball.

Nothing makes sense anymore
For the first time since 2010, Alcides Escobar will not be wearing a Kansas City Royals uniform. The Baltimore Orioles have signed the 32-year old shortstop to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.
Alcides Escobar is in the mix for the starting SS job with the Orioles and the utility job is up for grabs too. He’ll get 700K in the bigs.

Alcides Escobar went to the All-Star game with the Royals in 2015 and won a World Series for Kansas City in the same year.
Per a team release, the Orioles have signed shortstop Alcides Escobar to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training. Escobar, 32, finally fell out of favor in Kansas City, where from 2015-18 his .251/.284/.336 (64 wRC+) line was the worst among all qualified regulars in the majors. Still, the 2015 All-Star has been remarkably durable throughout his big-league career, appearing in at least 140 games in each of the last nine seasons, and should at least offer defensive stability to...

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost will be considering using a platoon to cover first base this season. It wont be a traditional platoon, per Jeffrey Flanagan, but it will resemble one. The platoon partners will be Ryan O’Hearn (duh) and Hunter Dozier. Originally it was thought they each would have their own starting role […] Kansas City Royals: A look at the potential first base platoon - Kings of Kauffman - Kings of Kauffman - A Kansas City Royals Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More
Has anyone in the wrong laundry ever caught your eye?
I think it’s safe to assume that most of you reading this are fans of the Royals. It’s also probably not much of a stretch to assume you’ve rooted for most of, if not all of, the guys wearing that uniform. But what about guys who weren’t Royals, have you ever rooted for any of them?
When I asked myself this question the first guy who came to mind was former outfielder Mark Kotsay. He’s not exactly a name-brand guy so how did I...
To platoon or not to platoon?

Dayton Moore comments on new pitcher Homer Bailey.
“Obviously, there’s a couple factors there for us,” Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. “One, he’s has success in the past. That is something that we have to take into strong consideration. Then you factor in the fact that he’s an experience-type pitcher. We need experience in our rotation. And financially it works. It’s very little risk with a...
The Kansas City Royals could have a real steal with Homer Baile! I know, look at his last few seasons and there is not much to be excited about. Just like any signing like this, he was cheap and available for a reason. A 6.00 ERA last year doesn’t exactly give you much confidence of […] Kansas City Royals: Homer Bailey’s 2019 Potential - Kings of Kauffman - Kings of Kauffman - A Kansas City Royals Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

There has been talk recently that the Kansas City Royals might be willing to move Ian Kennedy to the bullpen in 2018. That is a move that has been discussed, but seemed like it wouldn’t happen.

The Royals have agreed to a minor-league deal with veteran righty Drew Storen, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via Twitter). It is not clear whether the contract, which will be official if and when Storen passes a physical, includes an invitation to MLB camp. Storen is still working back from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in September of 2017. He missed all of the ensuing campaign. Now, nearly a year and a half removed from the procedure, Storen will look to get back on...
The Royals are adding depth in the bullpen.
The Royals have signed reliever Drew Storen to a minor league deal, according to reporter Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Jayson Stark had previously reported that Storen was “on the radar” for the Royals. The 31-year old right-hander was a solid closer for the first six years of his career with the Washington Nationals, sporting a 3.03 ERA with 95 saves and nearly a strikeout per-inning.
He prematurely ended his 2015 season by slamming a...
If fans are wondering why the Royals, a team seemingly deep in a rebuild, were interested in veteran right-hander Homer Bailey, there are a few reasons.
Jorge Soler sat out a majority of the 2018 season due to injury. He should be recovered, and he will hopefully play a large role in the success of the Kansas City Royals in 2019.
