Among the many issues with the Royals, the bullpen stands out as the team hasn't been able to lock down a solid closer in recent years.

Analysis & Opinion

The 28-year-old was taken off the IL on July 10 and now has ten games played, so how has he done in his return from a hamate fracture?

Analysis & Opinion

The former Brewers outfielder has not lived up to the expectations that both the Royals and Royals fans have set so far in 2026. He hasn't been the worst player on the Royals, but there are concerns after a slower first half of the season.

Analysis & Opinion

The Face of the Franchise continues to put together some of the best shortstop seasons in recent memory, and 2026 will add another tally to that list. He is also doing it without one key tool in his belt being a prevalent.
