• The Royals successfully took advantage of a buyer's market

Take a victory lap, everybody! Then get back to work. | Kevin Sousa-Imagn Images The Royals made smart, aggressive moves that may not be enough but didn't do any harm. Two weeks ago, I came to you and insisted the Royals should be buyers at the trade deadline despite their abysmal record. The biggest reason I made that argument was because, despite the general assertion that baseball has o...2025

• Royals offense falters again, Jays win 4-2

Kevin Sousa-Imagn Images Oh well, get 'em tomorrow. If you've watched many Royals games in 2025, you probably didn't feel the need to give this game any further consideration after the top of the third inning. For most of the season, the Royals have signaled early whether the offense was going to show up in a given game. You might argue that they mostly don't show up, and you'd be right, b...2025

They’re 54-55, a game under .500 with only 53 to play. Not great. They’re also 9th in the league - they’re closer to the bottom of the league than the top. Again, not good.

Peter Aiken-Imagn Images Hill too steep, hole too deep. Entering the bottom of the ninth inning on Monday night, the Royals looked cooked.
