The Royals current 40-man roster situation is perhaps the most unclear it’s been in years in terms of who will be on the 26-man big league roster on Opening Day. There are 37 players on the roster who, in my opinion, have a legitimate shot to break camp with the big league team. The only…

I don’t quite have the same time I used to have to take a deep dive into this, so you’ll have to bear with me as I paraphrase most of this into useful information. The main point of this is to analyze whether or not the Royals are capable of stacking up a top-10 offense…

Well, if that was true, the Royals would be shit out of luck next year. Luckily it’s *probably* not true so the Royals have a chance. A slim chance, perhaps, but a chance nonetheless. I’ve been thinking way too much lately about the Royals pitching staff headed into 2023 and so I sent out a…

Alright so I’ve been thinking about this for a while and just found some time to get it all on paper. I was sifting through the Royals offensive core heading into 2023 and trying to figure out what it could look like next year. I don’t really know how to organize these thoughts effectively so…

I just really want Zac Gallen to pitch for Kansas City next year. You probably can’t get him without MJ Melendez at this point because he decided to compete for the Cy Young Award this year, posting a 2.54 ERA in 184 IP for Arizona, but gosh dammit is he good. Like, really really good.…

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 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: 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,…

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…

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…

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…
