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.

News

The Royals head west for a six-game road trip with the first series coming against the Athletics. Here are some stats to keep an eye on in the series for both sides.

Royals Free Agent Pitching Targets: Joe Ross

Opinion

Free agent pitcher Ross is coming off a lost season but would be an interesting reclamation project for the Kansas City Royals.

Royals Free Agent Pitching Targets: Chad Kuhl

Opinion

If the KC Royals were in the reclamation project market, Chad Kuhl has some potential to rebound after a rough 2022 with the Colorado Rockies.

Royals Free Agent Pitching Targets: Johnny Cueto

Opinion

If the Kansas City Royals are looking for someone to round out their rotation from free agency, Johnny Cueto makes a good deal of sense.

Royals Free Agent Pitching Targets: Michael Wacha

Opinion

If the Kansas City Royals indeed do continue to look for starting pitchers, Michael Wacha could be a useful signing for them in free agency.
