I tweeted this out the other day, figured I’d go ahead and expand on it at some point. Priority #1: Someone’s got to go to prison, Ben I want to start off by saying that I legitimately do not have any inherent issues with either Mike Matheny nor Cal Eldred. It feels like any time…
The guys sat down with Nicholas Badders, the voice of the NWA Naturals, to breakdown the 2022 Naturals season. Stick around until the end for a quick conversation about the worst beats the guys have ever been a part of. Apple Podcasts Spotify
Welcome to part four of I don’t know how many. Here are the links to the ones I’ve written already: Let’s get right down to it, I was not the biggest fan of the decision to draft Gavin Cross on draft night this past July. Cam Collier inexplicably fell to the Royals pick at #9,…
Baseball America, MLB Pipeline, and us here at RFR have all released some version of a midseason ranking for Royals prospects. I thought it would be a fun exercise to compare those lists and see where everybody was at with certain guys in the system. So here you go: Ranking RFR BA MLB 1 Gavin…
The draft is done, the trade deadline has come and gone, and unless there’s a free agent that becomes available between now and the end of the season, the way the Royals 40-man roster looks now is likely to be very similar to the way it looks in November. With that being said, there are…
The Arizona Fall League kicks off today as the Surprise Saguaros will begin their 2022 campaign with seven Royals prospects on the Opening Day roster (the fall league rosters are easily manipulated so it’s possible some others join in at a later date). With all due respect to one prospect I’m leaving off, I want…
Welcome to part four of I don’t know how many. Here are the links to the ones I’ve written already: I’ve got to be honest with you all, as excited as we all were for Michael Massey by the end of last season, I may have somehow been the low man on him when he…
Welcome to part three of I don’t know how many. Here are the links to the ones I’ve written already: I’ve gotta be completely honest with you guys, I was stunned that Melendez won this poll. I don’t even disagree with him winning! I was just surprised to see how many people picked an individual’s…
Alex and Josh sit down with John Kocsis, the voice of the Columbia Fireflies, to recap the 2022 season. No one more qualified to talk about this team than John. Enjoy! Apple Podcasts Spotify
Welcome to part two of I don’t know how many. Here are the links to the ones I’ve written already: Part one was all about Brady Singer’s development as a legitimate #1-2 in a big league rotation. Having a home grown James Shields is massive because it allows you to spend the resources you would…
Well it just seems like a perfect time to bring back the first ever series I did for Royals Farm Report last year! One of my favorite things about following Royals minor league baseball is trying to find the under-the-radar prospects in the organization that don’t get enough attention, but have the potential to explode.…
I ran a couple of polls on Twitter already gauging your guys’ thoughts on what the best developments for the Royals have been in 2022. Vinnie Pasquantino won the first one in a bit of a landslide and MJ Melendez is currently leading the second poll. I didn’t even give you guys the option to…
What a weird week for the Royals. First, JJ Picollo came out and said Kris Bubic and Daniel Lynch need to take their careers into their own hands, then today that The Athletic bombshell dropped. Makes you think… Apple Podcasts Spotify
Man, it feels like just yesterday the minor league season started and I was diving into the Get to know a Royals prospect series to introduce readers to some of the fun prospects for the Kansas City Royals. Now the season has wrapped up and we are all preparing for a long offseason until we…
Recently, a follower of the Royals Farm Report twitter account named “Ryan Heffernon” expressed concern after watching a clip of a Gavin Cross home run. He quote tweeted the clip with the comment “I cannot unsee Ryan O’Hearn’s in his swing and that terrifies me.” Understandable. Royals fans are conditioned to expect the worst. Years…

I know it’s been a rough year overall, but I honestly think there is more good than bad that we can take away from the Royals 2022 season and I’m cautiously optimistic about the direction of the organization. We’ll get into more season “review” in the actual offseason, but while we still have a month…
It’s time to dive into the August Players of the Month! You might be asking yourself, where is July? Life got the best of me (all good things) and unfortunately I missed bringing you the July players of the month. That’s on me! But I got you for August and September! For August, I also…
I tweeted out a preface for this article earlier this week. I was, frankly, kind of surprised at the results. I get that Bobby Witt Jr. is pretty clearly the most talented player on this team and provides the Royals with the potential for a generational type of All-Star that can anchor a lineup for…
Joel, Josh, and Alex break down this week’s Minor League Minute as Carter Jensen and the Fireflies stay red hot. Then, a breakdown of how newcomers to the farm have performed so far. Enjoy! Apple Podcasts Spotify
