Royals News

The Kansas City Royals took a sharp dive in their series finale against the Colorado Rockies, suffering a painful 12-6 loss that left fans wondering if there's any hope left in this losing season. With a record of 46-66 and an offense averaging just 3.4 runs per game over the past week, the team is at a crossroads as the trade deadline approaches. The Royals are reportedly playing it stingy, even as bitter rivals like the Tigers bolster their rosters, leaving many to question whether Kansas City will make any impactful moves to improve their dismal standing. In the midst of this turmoil, Aaron Bummer's debut was a letdown, highlighting the struggles on the mound. Meanwhile, the return of Kyle Isbel from injury offers a flicker of hope, but for now, the vibe remains cool,just not in a good way.

Tarik Skubal has finally been traded and as good as it is for the Royals to have a Cy Young arm out of the division, Detroit's strong return could be a concern.

Bummer! Royals swept out of Colorado
Seth Lugo was bad and Aaron Bummer’s Royals debut was worse as the Royals fell to the Rockies 8-1. It was just a couple of weeks ago that Brian Henry wrote that the Royals needed to learn from not trading Seth Lugo last year. Lugo put an exclamation point on that point today with just […]
