The Cubs could do nothing against the Royals starter

I’ve been pretty hard on Brady Singer, this season. I have doubted him. I have insisted he should be demoted from the rotation despite his success.

That stops now.

For the second straight start, Brady offered up seven...

The Cubbies haven’t been in contention as hoped.

The Cubs got off to a solid 24-17 start, but had a terrible May and June, losing 20 of 29 at one point. They have been better in July, but are coming off losing back-to-back home series against the Diamondbacks and Brewers.

Gotta give up talent to get talent.

Tuesday’s trade deadline is fast approaching, and the Royals will likely be buyers for the first time in several seasons. The team has a low-ranked farm system, according to several evaluators. Will they have enough to offer other teams to receive players that can make a difference? They have shown creativity trading a 2024 draft pick with prospect Cayden Wallace to the Nationals for reliever...

Are the Royals talking with the Angels?

David Lesky has a long list of potential trade candidates for the Royals.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - I’ve heard varying things about Chisholm and both his market and who is really in on him. The Royals do like him, if like four different people I speak to are correct. One believes the Marlins are asking for a haul. Another doesn’t think it’ll take too much. If I’m being honest, I wouldn’t give up that much....

The 35-year-old can get on base.

The Royals approach the trade deadline in contention for a post-season spot, but with some clear needs on the roster. The offense has been above-average in runs-scored-per-game, despite having a lineup full of impatient hitters. The Royals have the fourth-lowest walk rate in baseball, and their .309 team on-base percentage is in the lower half of all teams.

J.J. Picollo has told reporters he is...

There have been a few changes this year

What does baseball sound like? It sounds like the crack of the bat. It sounds like an umpire ringing up a batter. It sounds like a crowd singing the seventh inning stretch. But for many, baseball sounds like a broadcaster on a television or the radio, the...

Royals fail to capitalize after Red Sox and Yankees both lose.

The Royals fell just short on Wednesday, following a ninth-inning collapse by James McArthur. After the Red Sox were bludgeoned in Colorado and the Yankees dropped one to the Mets, but the Royals couldn’t capitalize.

Bobby Witt Jr. walked in his first at-bat in the first inning. Otherwise, it was a relatively quiet first inning. That changed in the second inning when third baseman Eugenio Suárez...
