News

The Kansas City Royals have been nothing short of terrible recently as the team has crashed in recent outings. After getting swept by the Texas Rangers, the Royals are desperate to find any sort of success when they start a series against the Reds.

Analysis & Opinion

The usually reliable 31-year-old reliever/closer has gotten off to his worst start as a Royal, giving them more issues to figure out.

Analysis & Opinion

Jac Caglianone has been one of the better Royals bats this season, but he needs to round out his game just a bit more to reach the next level.

Game Day

It has been tough sledding for the Royals recently, to say the least, as they are coming off a road trip that saw them go 1-5 against the White Sox and Cardinals. They open a nine-game homestand against the Red Sox.

Analysis & Opinion

While the Royals have mostly gotten out of their early season offensive slumber, one slugger in the lineup is still struggling, Salvador Perez. The longtime face and icon of the franchise is off to one of his slowest starts to a season ever.

News

Lane Thomas has been one of the more polarizing Royals players this season due to his production. While he isn't mashing southpaws, he is putting together an interesting profile that could lead to a career rebound.
