• Weekend Rumblings - News for November 16, 2024Photo by Focus on Sport/Getty Images Royals legends get honored by the NLBM. David Lesky considers trading Freddy Fermin. It makes some sense because the Royals have Luca Tresh close to ready to be a backup catcher in the big leagues. Aside from him, they have Jensen working his way through the system and Mitchell not far behind him.

• Yankees vs. Royals: Resuming a historical RivalrySometimes it’s heaven, sometimes it’s hell With the Royals and Yankees squaring off in the playoffs for the first time since 1980 (how is that possible??)

The Royals, in only their eighth season, held off the Oakland A’s for...2024Check it out George Brett rumors

• The best Royals seasons by ageGet that young man a Hamm’s Baseball is hard. Hitting a 95 MPH pitch is tough business. Throwing one might be even harder than hitting one.

Over the years, there is a perception that the Royals are a franchise infatuated by speed. Don’t get me wrong, speed is something you can’t teach, and I enjoy a stolen base, a triple or a terrific outfield play as much as the next guy. And speed most often facilitates those plays. But if a hitter can’t get on base, t...2023See also Randy Johnson -
