On Fangraphs, their playoff odds are 0.0%, and they are nine losses worse than the Tigers, who sit in fourth place in the Central Division.  Typically, when a team is facing that kind of season, they...4529Tue, 04 Aug 2026 01:08:03 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/breaking-royals-trade-kris-bubic-to-the-dodgers-r4528/The Royals have traded LHP Kris Bubic to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bubic has pitched in nine games, throwing 50 1/3 innings and recording a 4.11 ERA.  Bubic is a free agent at the end of this season. The Dodgers are sending RHP Carlos Duran to the Royals. Duran made his major league debut wi...4528Mon, 03 Aug 2026 18:19:00 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/alex-lange-has-a-problem-but-it-isnt-pressure-r4519/Let’s get this much straight: Alex Lange owns a 1-6 record and a 6.33 ERA across 42 ⅔ innings. It is exactly the kind of stat line that gets filed away as a decline after about two seconds of evaluation. But in Lange’s case, the ERA is telling an incomplete story: in save opportunities, he has p...4519Mon, 03 Aug 2026 11:52:03 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/royals-get-much-needed-pitching-depth-in-trade-with-braves-r4524/On Saturday night, during the Royals' loss to the Rockies (a rough season continues to get worse), Kansas City traded outfielder Lane Thomas and pitcher Bailey Falter (who's currently pitching in Omaha) to Atlanta in exchange for pitching prospects Lucas Braun and Carter Holton. Neithe...4524Sun, 02 Aug 2026 11:51:00 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/breaking-royals-trade-lane-thomas-bailey-falter-to-braves-r4523/Outfielder Lane Thomas and left-handed pitcher Bailey Falter are headed to the Atlanta Braves in a trade. Thomas was a popular name in trade rumors over the past few weeks, and it is not surprising to see him moved ahead of Monday's trade deadline.  Falter has spent the year between t...4523Sun, 02 Aug 2026 01:43:00 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/the-royals-do-not-need-to-blow-things-up-at-the-deadline-r4522/It's been a tough week for the Kansas City Royals, a common theme of the 2026 season, unfortunately. After taking two of three in Detroit over the past weekend, the Royals lost two of three to the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis, both in walk-off style. Thursday was particularly brutal, as t...4522Sat, 01 Aug 2026 15:00:00 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/why-scott-barlow-isnt-emerging-as-a-potential-bullpen-solution-r4516/To say the Royals are burdened by one of the worst bullpens in the majors grossly understates the obvious. The club’s troubled relief corps too often fails the eye test, and its numbers tell a dreadful tale — through Tuesday, when closer Alex Lange’s blown save at Detroit became the Royals’ 20th...4516Fri, 31 Jul 2026 13:10:02 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/the-invisible-problem-behind-luinder-avilas-collapse-r4514/Luinder Avila still looks like a pitcher who should be difficult to hit. His four-seam fastball remains around 96 mph, his sinker still carries the life that made his arsenal so dangerous, and opposing hitters are still struggling to generate quality contact against him. And yet, the results hav...4514Fri, 31 Jul 2026 11:53:02 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/salvador-p%C3%A9rez-wants-to-stay-a-royal-r4512/The 2026 trade deadline is around the corner, and the Kansas City Royals are expected to be one of a few sellers offloading pieces. That should put them in an advantageous position, as the majority of squads in the league have enough incentives to be buyers. One Royals player who won’t be p...4512Thu, 30 Jul 2026 23:14:02 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/yankees-phillies-or-red-sox-potential-trade-partners-for-daniel-lynch-iv-r4517/There is no denying that the Royals bullpen is on pace to be the worst in franchise history, but that’s to say that there haven't been any bright spots. One in particular has been Daniel Lynch IV, who has had a breakout year coming out of the pen. His season has resulted in him becoming a very i...4517Thu, 30 Jul 2026 13:10:03 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/the-road-to-318-how-salvador-perez-became-the-royals-home-run-king-r4513/For over three decades, George Brett stood alone atop the Royals’ all-time home run leaderboard. On Saturday, the crown was claimed by Salvador Perez when he launched the 318th home run of his career to become the franchise’s new home run leader. Comparing Perez’s and Brett’s careers head-t...4513Wed, 29 Jul 2026 23:10:02 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/should-the-royals-cash-in-and-trade-seth-lugo-r4510/The 45-62 Kansas City Royals have been quite bad this season. Only the Athletics and the Los Angeles Angels have been worse in the American League, so considering that they were over .500 in each of the last two years, it’s certainly a disappointing reality for Kansas City and its fans.
