Royals News
The Kansas City Royals took a brutal hit on Friday, suffering a staggering 22-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. The team's pitching woes were glaring, highlighted by Mitch Spence's disastrous outing that left fans questioning the offseason trades. As if things couldn't get worse, ace Cole Ragans is set to undergo elbow surgery on July 1, casting a long shadow over the pitching staff's future. Meanwhile, despite Alex Lange's solid performance and Michael Wacha reaching the milestone of 1,500 strikeouts, the Royals are struggling to find consistency. Errors plagued their efforts in a tight 2-1 loss in the second game of the series, leading to speculation about potential trades, including Kris Bubic. With a record of 34-49 and a -27 run differential over the last week, it's clear this team is facing an uphill battle.
