• Posnanski on the Red Sox
Joe Posnanski presents a very clear take on the Red Sox managerial firing. He recaps the Rafael Devers situation from last season, and ends with: Did Devers cover himself in glory here? Of course not. But Devers was also a 28-year-old baseball star who had been told repeatedly that he was the face of the […]...2026See more articles Red Sox

Joe Posnanski introduces the FROG concept: FROG stands for “Flagship Representative of Greatness.” The idea is that FROGs are kind of like the Knights of the Round Table — they might not be King Arthur, but they are awesome in their own right. They expand the idea of what sports greatness is. Lawrence Taylor and […]...2026See more Lawrence Taylor

• Let’s get threePhoto by Chris Coduto/Getty Images Royals turning the triple I’ve always been fascinated with arcane occurrences that regularly pop up in major league baseball. Halter top day remains at the top of the list. Hitting for the cycle has always been a favorite of mine. Sluggger hitting an unwitting fan with a hot dog? That works. No-hitters are always fun, though I’m not sure we’ll ever see an...2025Continue with Lucas Duda news and rumors -
• Royals Rumblings - News for July 8, 2025Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images Home runs are neat! The Royals finally got the offense clicking, writes Jaylon Thompson. It’s the first time that Witt, Pasquantino and Perez homered in the same game, and it propelled the Royals to a 9-3 victory over the Pirates. “That’s who our team is and that’s who we are,” Witt said of multiple players contributing to the win. “And so it’s just everyo...2025Continue with Jaylon Thompson news -

• The Next Brewers Hall of Famers (and a Hall-of-Fame Rabbit Hole)Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images I have thoughts. On Sunday, former Brewer All-Star Dave Parker was one of two players (along with Dick Allen) inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, via the Era Committee’s Classic Baseball Era (formerly known as the Veterans Committee) ballot. I’m a Hall junkie, so I had a million thoughts, some of which I will share. But the thought that will guide me: who...2024Visit the page Charles LeClaire injury -
• A look back at the 2003 RoyalsPhoto credit should read DAVE KAUP/AFP via Getty Images The Royals BELIEVED and made an unexpected run. The Royals were the laughingstock of baseball in the late 90s and early 2000s, but one oasis in that cesspool of bad baseball was the 2003 Royals. It was a season of stupefying wins, an amazing season from an emerging star player, unwavering optimism from the skipper, and donuts, so many...2024See also Brian Anderson -

You can’t. Peyton Manning. Peyton F***ing Manning. PFM. P-Money. The Sheriff. Whatever you want to call him, No. 18 was like no quarterback before him. Or since. While other quarterbac...2024See more Denver Broncos -
• My summer baseball reading listJust take a look, it’s in a book. When I was about 10 years old, I got really into baseball. I was a bookish kid already, so anytime I went to the library I checked out two kinds of books - Matt Christopher novels and baseball biographies. Matt Christopher wrote a series of fictional kids books about baseball like Catcher with a Glass Arm and The Kid Who Only Hit Homers, which I loved. I also love...2024Check it out Johnny Bench -

• Royals trade partner history: The BravesPhoto by Ed Zurga/Getty Images Did the Royals have a Braves pipeline? It is the cold winter, still several weeks from spring training. That gives us some time to reflect on Royals seasons past, so after being inspired by the Yankees blog Pinstripe Alley we’ll begin a series looking back at their trade history with each team in baseball. Today, we’ll start with the Atlanta Braves. Total num...2024See also Atlanta Braves injury report -
• 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. The group had been operating with a branding license from Authentic Brands, and once it missed a quarterly license payment, the license was terminated, leading to the layoffs. The long-venerated magazine has been published s...2024See more articles George Brett injury status -

Last week, Jackson County voters resoundingly rejected a proposal to extend a 3/8 cent sales tax for another 40 years to fund a new downtown ballpark for the Royals and renovations for Arrowhead Stadium for the Chiefs. The failed vote immediately brought concerns that the Royals could soon relocate, possibl...2024Check it out Municipal Stadium -
• Why we love baseballAnother gem by Joe Posnanski. You know how they say a child inherits his athletic ability from his mother? I’m going on record to say a child also inherits his love of reading from his mother. I know I did. My father taught me to love baseball. My mom showed me how to love reading. My mom is a world class reader, consuming upwards of 50+ books a year. She recently joined a club where she can bu...2023Continue with Rocky Mountain -
