Per the request of one of our followers, I threw together a depth chart for the Kansas City Royals organization, all the way down to Low-A ball. Understand that these aren’t necessarily in any particular order after the starters, but it should help put a place on Royals prospects. The Pitchers The Position Players So…

Yesterday, the Royals traded shortstop Cristian Perez for RHP Chance Adams. Adams is only 25-years-old but has had some tough times in his short MLB career.

Twenty-seven kilometers east of Vancouver, on the north bank of the Fraser River in British Columbia, sits Port Coquitlam, a town…
