• 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.

• A look back at the Royals’ 2019 draft class, five years laterPhoto by Denis Poroy/Getty Images Could this be the best draft class in Royals history? Flags fly forever, but the post-championship hangover hit the Royals hard in 2018. Once the core of the championship team departed, what was left were over-the-hill veterans and not-ready-for-prime-time players. The 2018 Royals were dreadful, losing 104 games, but their reward for enduring that misery w...2024Check it out Denis Poroy -

• Time comes for us allPhoto by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via Getty Images There is no escape. It has been fascinating to observe the offensive evolution of Salvador Perez. In his first few seasons in the show, the fresh-faced young catcher looked to be a .300 hitter that could give you 15 home runs over a full season. As he settled into his major league career, Perez lost some average in exchange for power, b...2023Read about Salvador Perez injury status -
• The best Royals seasons, by position
What a team! While we’re marinating in this lost Royals season, (seriously, what else can we write about this team?) I had the idea: who had the best season for the Royals, by position? What would that team look like? Truth is, they look pretty darned good. There were a few surprises and some tough battles, especially in the outfield. Starting with the infield, here’s what it looks like. Catcher ...2023Click for news about Don Baylor injury update
