• How patient should the Royals be with MJ Melendez?Photo by Keith Gillett/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Now in his third season, the young slugger has yet to turn the corner. The Royals have an outfield problem. Collectively, their outfielders are hitting .199/.257/.316 with just 11 home runs in 501 plate appearances. Their 61 wRC+ is the worst among all MLB outfields by a large margin. There is plenty of blame to share for the offensiv...2024Click for news about Keith Gillett Icon headline news

• The Royals are getting back to being an elite defensive teamPhoto by Ed Zurga/Getty Images Love their glove. When the Royals rose to prominence a decade ago (has it been that long already? Sheesh!), they weren’t known for hitting home runs or having elite starting pitching. Instead, they prided themselves on having a high-contact lineup, a shutdown bullpen, and an elite defense. The 2014-15 Royals had 95.6 Defensive Runs Above Average, 40 better t...2024Visit the page Alex Gordon

• Better know a draft prospect: Konnor GriffinPhoto by Mary DeCicco/MLB Photos via Getty Images Could the Royals go with another prep bat this year? The high school baseball season will soon wind down, and the Royals could be looking to take another prep player with their #6 pick. Last year they took high school catcher Blake Mitchell, who is off to a pretty good start in Low-A Columbia this year. The Royals could go that route again...2024See more articles Mary DeCicco latest news

• Royals Rumblings - News for April 3, 2024It is once again Wednesday. Obviously the big news is that Question 1 was defeated at the ballot box last night. Max wrote that up last night if you missed it. But last night’s win in rainy Baltimore was also pretty cool. From Byron Kerr at Royals.com: Marsh was in the zone all night, allowing only two doubles on 76 pitches, 54 for strikes. The right-hander struck out five and walked one. It was...2024See more articles Gunnar Henderson rumors

• Where you can find former Royals on baseball rosters in 2024Photo by Rob Tringali/MLB Photos via Getty Images Old friend alert! Eric Hosmer officially retired over the winter, and Mike Moustakas failed to make the White Sox roster, further dwindling the number of players from the 2015 Royals championship club still in the big leagues. Danny Duffy is still chugging along, trying to stay healthy in the minors with the Rangers, lefty reliever Scott Al...2024See also MLB Photos breaking news today

• Reflections on the cusp of the Cubs’ 2024 seasonPhoto by @WillByington / www.willbyington.com This year, I believe the Cubs will be playing October playoff baseball. Remember this? That was Joe Maddon in November 2014, at the freewheeling presser held to introduce him as Cubs manager. The Cubs had just come off three of the worst seasons in recent franchise memory, as Theo Epstein rebuilt the ballclub. They had lost 101, 96 and 89...2024See more articles Joe Maddon injury status

• 2024 Royals season preview: It’s time to winPhoto by Omar Rawlings/Getty Images The Royals want to win on the field and at the ballot box Royals fans have seen their fair share of rebuild movements. Sometimes they pan out, like when they “flipped the switch” in 2011 with Salvador Perez, Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Alcides Escobar, and Lorenzo Cain, the group that went on to win two pennants and a championship. But more often than n...2024Visit the page Salvador Perez injuries

• The best Royals-related Sports Illustrated coversOne of the best sports publications appears to be dead. This week came the news that publisher The Arena Group was laying off virtually the entire staff of Sports Illustrated.

• 2023 Cubs final season gradesPhoto by Michael Reaves/Getty Images Some of these are pretty good. Others, not so much. In re-reading my midseason grades article, I noted this passage: Last year’s team went 39-31 after the break, a .557 winning percentage. If this year’s team can play to that percentage in the 73 remaining games, they’ll go 41-32. That would result in an 83-79 final record. I don’t claim to be prescient...2023Click for news about Michael Reaves injury status

• 2023 Cubs midseason grades
Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images Some things were good for the Cubs before the All-Star break. And some... were not. (If that sounds familiar, I wrote the same words in last year’s midseason grades article.) The Cubs stand seven games out of first place in the N.L. Central at the All-Star break. This still shapes up as a weak division that could be taken with fewer than 90 wins. One th...2023See also Michael Reaves

Anthony Rizzo meant more to me than Eric Hosmer or Trey Mancini could ever mean. Yes, I’m factoring in the latter’s possible contrib...2023Check it out Adbert Alzolay availability report
