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. Nat...4510Wed, 29 Jul 2026 11:53:03 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/diamondbacks-nationals-or-cubs-potential-landing-spots-for-matt-strahm-at-the-trade-deadline-r4499/Matt Strahm has not had the best season so far, but neither has most of the Royals bullpen. Strahm reunited with the Royals in a trade with the Phillies this off-season. In 33 innings this season, Strahm has a 7.09 ERA with a 6.77 FIP and -1.0 fWAR. His expected metrics, however, trend a li...4499Tue, 28 Jul 2026 13:10:02 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/is-it-time-for-the-royals-to-trade-michael-massey-r4505/  One of the more encouraging stories this year has been the re-emergence of second baseman Michael Massey.  It seemed like Massey was on his way to a solid career as the Royals' second baseman in 2024. In 100 games and 356 plate appearances, the former Illinois product hit .259 with a...4505Sun, 26 Jul 2026 16:02:50 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/how-the-royals-can-prove-2-big-things-at-the-trade-deadline-r4500/The annual midsummer trade deadline looms large on baseball’s horizon. Contenders searching for game-changing down-the-stretch help, and sure sellers like the Royals, have until August 3 at 6pm Eastern to consummate the big deals they and their fans relish. What Kansas City, buried deep in...4500Sun, 26 Jul 2026 14:14:01 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/should-the-royals-trade-isaac-collins-at-the-deadline-r4501/  One of the Royals' most productive hitters lately has been Isaac Collins, who was acquired this offseason in the Angel Zerpa trade with Milwaukee (along with reliever Nick Mears).  For the season, Collins is hitting .246 with a .324 wOBA and 104 wRC+ in 343 plate appearances with the...4501Sat, 25 Jul 2026 11:56:01 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/phillies-braves-or-white-sox-where-lane-thomas-fits-best-at-trade-deadline-r4495/2026 has been a disappointing season for a Royals team that had playoff aspirations. With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, the Royals need to aggressively pursue deals for some players. Center fielder Lane Thomas is set to be a free agent at the end of the season, and his performance coul...4495Fri, 24 Jul 2026 11:51:02 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/royals-add-infield-depth-with-latest-free-agent-deal-to-acquire-alejo-lopez-r4496/In a move that drew scant attention, the Royals moved Wednesday to shore up their infield depth, an area weakened by injuries to a pair of key players. The club signed free agent Alejo Lopez just two days after his release earlier in the week by Tacoma, the Seattle Mariners’ Triple-A affiliate....4496Thu, 23 Jul 2026 16:54:02 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/michael-wacha-trade-destinations-cubs-braves-or-white-sox-r4493/With the deadline looming on August 3rd, the baseball trade winds are starting to blow, and Michael Wacha’s name continues to be floated on those winds. The Royals workhorse just threw his 13th quality start in 20 outings this season, ranks 3rd in MLB with 125 1/3 innings pitched, and has an aff...4493Thu, 23 Jul 2026 11:50:01 +0000https://royalskeep.com/news-rumors/kansas-city-royals/could-a-move-to-starting-help-turn-around-lucas-ercegs-career-r4487/   One of the more disappointing players this year has been relief pitcher Lucas Erceg. When he was acquired at the Trade Deadline from the Athletics in 2024, Erceg looked to be exactly what the Royals needed in the bullpen.  In 23 IP and 25 appearances with the Royals in 2024, the for...4487Fri, 17 Jul 2026 11:51:02 +0000
