Picollo has been the Royals’ general manager since September 2021 and the president of baseball operations since September 2022. In that time, the Royals have managed to clinch their first playoff berth since winning the 2015 World Series and followed that performance with another winning s...4350Sat, 30 May 2026 11:52:01 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/the-royals-should-take-a-different-approach-with-collins-and-loftin-r4353/  The Kansas City Royals lost their fourth-straight game on Friday, this time to the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field in Arlington. The Rangers beat the Royals 9-1 in a game that was never close. Kansas City starter Stephen Kolek gave up four runs in the first inning and six runs over...4353Sat, 30 May 2026 11:32:02 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/time-is-running-out-on-royals-first-round-draft-pick-frank-mozzicato-r4342/The Kansas City Royals’ starting rotation is in a bit of disarray. Cole Ragans, still billed by many as the cream of the club’s starting pitching crop, threw well in a Triple-A rehab start Saturday but remains sidelined after experiencing elbow pain the next day. Elbow discomfort has also forced...4342Fri, 29 May 2026 11:53:02 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/three-takeaways-from-the-yankees-series-and-season-sweep-of-the-royals-r4346/  On Wednesday, the Royals lost 7-0 to Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees at Kauffman Stadium. The win for the Bronx Bombers clinched not only a series sweep, but a season sweep, as the Yankees won all three games at Yankee Stadium back in April. Since beating the Yankees in Game 2 of the...4346Thu, 28 May 2026 11:59:01 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/realistic-and-far-fetched-scenarios-if-the-royals-sell-early-before-trade-deadline-r4337/To say that the start of the Royals' season has been bad would be an understatement; it has been an unmitigated disaster so far. Nothing seems to be going right for the Royals this season, and it would be easy to assume that the Royals will be sellers at the trade deadline of the season were to...4337Wed, 27 May 2026 15:40:00 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/is-it-time-for-the-royals-to-move-on-from-alec-zumwalt-r4341/After a shaky season at the plate in 2025, the Royals have not made substantial progress offensively in 2026. Right now, the Royals sit at a wRC+ of 93, which is tied with the San Francisco Giants for 23rd in MLB. Alec Zumwalt has been the Royals’ Major League hitting coach and Senior Direc...4341Wed, 27 May 2026 11:58:02 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/baily-falters-tenure-with-the-royals-may-be-coming-to-an-end-r4343/  On Tuesday, the New York Yankees absolutely thrashed the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The Yankees not only scored 15 runs, but also collected 24 hits in a 14-run win over the Boys in Blue. Safe to say, it was one of the worst losses of the season, especially at Kauffman Stadium...4343Wed, 27 May 2026 11:39:01 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/week-in-review-royals-bounce-back-against-mariners-after-rough-start-to-homestand-r4338/  Week in a Nutshell  After a 1-8 road trip in the previous week, the Royals got off to a slow start in this week's homestand. At the beginning of the week, Kansas City was swept by the Boston Red Sox, who sit in last place in the AL East (and ironically, got swept by the Minneso...4338Mon, 25 May 2026 11:55:00 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/stephen-kolek-has-provided-a-much-needed-spark-to-the-royals-rotation-r4335/  After losing four in a row and 10 out of their last 11 games, the Kansas City Royals were looking for a spark on Saturday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium. Nearly 26,000 fans were in attendance, primarily to celebrate "Star Wars Day at the K". That massive attendance helped create an en...4335Sun, 24 May 2026 11:55:01 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/3-big-moves-the-royals-cant-risk-making-right-now-r4331/The major league schedule gave the Royals and their fans a much-needed respite from misery Thursday.

This season, Cags has only received 36 plate appearances against lefties, compared to 120 against right-handed pitchers. It makes sense when looking at the...4329Thu, 21 May 2026 11:31:02 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/things-are-getting-bleak-for-the-royals-and-fanbase-r4328/  I was able to attend my eighth game of the year at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday evening. The game started out promising, even with "opener" Bailey Falter allowing a run in the top half of the first inning. The Royals tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the first, thanks to a double down the...4328Wed, 20 May 2026 11:35:02 +0000
