Heading into the 2022 MLB Draft, many expected the Kansas City Royals to go with a high school prep bat or - for those with pessimistic views - a pitcher from either the high school or college ranks. They hadn't selected a college position player in the opening round in nearly a decade, after all. There was no way that president of baseball…

Following their loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday, the Kansas City Royals are 14-28 on the season. You read that right: Kansas City's win total is the same amount of games the club is below.500 in 2022. Things aren't going particularly well for a team that expected to improve on 2021's mark of 74-88. That was a 45.7% win rate, and this…

There are just 24 days until Opening Day, but as spring training opens up, most teams aren't even sure who will be in their organization by then. A 99-day transaction freeze has caused teams to compress what would usually take most of an off-season into a few weeks. The Royals may have a bit more stability than other teams, hoping to improve the…

There is no getting around the fact that, one month into the 2022 baseball season, the Royals have been nearly unwatchable. Before Friday's action, only two teams had worse records than the Royals - the Tigers at half a game back with an extra game played and the Reds with a remarkable three total wins. The Royals' pitching has been inconsistent…

I think there was probably a split second (or more) of fear in Royals fans hearts on Monday when it was announced the owners and players couldn't come to a deal on an international draft. Why the fear? It meant that the qualifying offer was back on the table for pending free agents. With that, combined with the Royals playing better baseball, I…

Free agents will be able to negotiate with other teams beginning this evening, and while the Royals have downplayed being active in free agency, they may be looking to sign a few players. Previous reports indicated they were looking to sign a starting pitcher or two, but in a recent interview with MLB.com reporter Anne Rogers, J.J. Picollo…

The Royals may not be legitimate contenders in 2021, not in a division with the White Sox and Twins, but don't tell GM Dayton Moore and manager Mike Matheny. Kansas City enters the season expecting to challenge for the AL Central crown. Pitching is the division's main currency. It's also the strength of the Royals' farm system, but the big names in…

This is likely to be the last year where we have to see our divisional rivals 19 times a season, with the 2023 season promising to see more diversity in match-ups with every team facing each other at least once every year. Still 2022 is a classic year where we'll be seeing a lot of our four divisional rivals, so we figured for the first clash…
