At least the Royals are enjoying a beautiful view.
The Royals will try to get back on the winning side of the ledger in game two against the Mariners. Michael Lorenzen (4-8, 4.91 ERA) takes the hill this evening hoping to win his first start since June 8.

Let's take a look at three potential landing spots for Lugo as the trade deadline approaches.

The Cubs have a loaded farm system that could help the Royals.
The Royals have dropped 30 of their last 45 games, falling seven games below .500. As July begins, it’s increasingly likely Kansas City will pivot toward selling at the trade deadline.
One of the most coveted players will likely be All-Star pitcher Seth Lugo, and according to Matthew Trueblood of North Side Baseball, the Royals and Cubs have already engaged in talks.

The odds are going, going.....
June has ended with the Royals winning just 8 out of 26 games. They have plummeted to seven games below .500, scoring just 3.27 runs per game. It was not fun to watch, as many of you already know. This team had hopes to make the postseason, and going into June they were still burning fairly bright. Now it has dimmed to the point where only the most optimistic fan could believe for a number of reasons.
Right now, the Seattle...

Any more ideas?
On May 9, the Royals walked off the Red Sox for a 2-1 victory, giving them 16 wins in their last 18 tries. They improved to 24-16, tied for the second-best record in the American League. It was early, but it looked like last year’s surprise Royals playoff team was no fluke.
Then the bottom dropped out.
Since that point, the Royals have lost two-thirds of their games and have been one of the worst teams in baseball.

Carter Jensen hits his first Triple-A home run.
This Week in the Minors is our weekly look at notable performances from all over the system, from big-name prospects and less-heralded guys alike. The mission is to answer this simple question: “Who had a good week?”

Happy Bobby Bonilla Day!
Craig Brown digs into the Royals’ offensive woes.
What’s funny is that once the Royals fall behind 0-1, they turn into a league average offense. Collectively, this team hits .234/.268/.336, good for a 102 OPS+ after they fall behind 0-1.
When they get ahead in the count, they’re terrible. Overall, the team is hitting .242/.343/.374 when they jump ahead 1-0. Yes, those numbers are better than when they fall behind 0-1, which they should be. But the...

A chance to take the Wild Card is slipping away
Before moving to the Kansas City area when I was nine years old, my family and I lived in Berea, Ohio. As a result, I spent a few firsts in Cleveland, and I still have a soft spot for the area and some...

A battle for the soul of Wyoming
On April 27, 2007, Royals Review founder Will McDonald penned a tongue-in-cheek article about the Mariners/Royals lineup. The comments are lost. The images he lovingly created in Microsoft Paint? Also lost.
But the text, yes, the text remains. Will talked about the war tearing...

Another college pitcher with a very projectable future
Over the last several years, Alabama baseball has been one of the premier college baseball programs, winning at least 30 games in six straight years (excluding the 2020 Covid year) with a record of 41-18 this season. The reputation for success down in Tuscaloosa has translated to the MLB draft, where they have seen six players selected in each of the last two years. This year,...

Good luck hitting at T-Mobile Park!
For a team struggling offensively like the Royals, the last place they want to go is T-Mobile Park in Seattle. It ranks as the hardest park to hit in, according to Park Factors at Statcast. That hasn’t prevented the Mariners from fielding a pretty decent offense - they’re in the middle of baseball in runs scored. But they have a significant home/road split, with the team scoring over a run per game more on the...

Go Future!
Royals fans will get a glimpse of the future during All-Star week as Catcher Carter Jensen and pitcher Frank Mozzicato were named to the Futures Game in Atlanta next month. Jensen was just promoted to Triple-A after hitting .292/.360/.420 with six home runs in 68 games at Double-A. Mozzicato earned a promotion to Double-A after posting a 1.24 ERA in seven starts for High-A Quad Cities.
Jensen is a local product, graduating from Park Hill...

The Royals offense is failing, and something needs to be done.
The Royals have long been an offensively-challenged club, thanks in part to the stadium they play in. But they have taken their offensive ineptitude to new depths this year. They are dead last in baseball in runs scored per-game at 3.30. They have been shut out ten times this year, tied for the most in baseball. They have scored three runs or fewer in 52 of their 84 games,...
If you’re wondering what it’ll take for the Kansas City Royals to break the cycle, this is the episode for you.
In this episode of Royals Rundown, Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco can’t help but feel like they’ve seen this movie before—because they have. Drawing comparisons to Groundhog Day, the duo dives into the Kansas City Royals’ frustratingly familiar struggles during their recent series against the Dodgers.
They break down the inconsistencies in the lineup, the pressure on the...

More losses at home.
The Royals lose another home series.
“We’re in a rut,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “Every team goes through something like this.
“This is prolonged for us, and we are not hiding from that. We need ... to stack wins together. And that’s why it’s disappointing today that we didn’t.”
Anne Rogers writes about the struggles playing at home.
“We love playing here,” manager Matt Quatraro said. “We haven’t...

“Just put your little hand in mine”
The Royals have lived and died by their offense all season. This is because their pitching, at its worst, does well enough to keep them in the game. But too often, the Royals simply don’t score enough or even any at all. Today, the Royals' bats got off to a good start. Jonathan India singled to lead things off, went to second on a wild pitch, and then scored on a Bobby Witt...

If the Royals really want to salute the Negro Leagues, they’ll do a win like the Monarchs so often did.
The Royals, for all intents and purposes, haven’t had many superstars during their 56-year existence. George Brett and Bobby Witt Jr. are about the list. Sure, there have...
With their franchise-tying home losing streak in the past, the Kansas City Royals now get to focus on taking a series from the reigning World Series champions.
Kansas City's offense woke up after Shohei Ohtani exited from tossing two scoreless innings, and the Royals snapped their 11-game home skid with Saturday's 9-5 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
