Pre-Arb to Big Spenders? Royals’ Contract History & Future
The “bad free agent contract” list for the Royals isn’t as bad as other teams, but it reminds fans of a franchise trend.
Check out our latest episode, live on @royalsreview.bsky.social!
We spent most of the episode discussing some of Kansas City's worst free-agent deals, and there are plenty of options. Is there someone we missed, or a bad contract that is the WORST?

A graphic featuring Sluggerrr in the center as a balloon float. Salvador Perez, Matt Quatraro, Bobby Witt Jr., Pasquatch, and Relish stand below the balloon and hold the strings. Text on the graphic reads, "Happy Thanksgiving. Love, the Royals"
Happy Thanksgiving, Royals fans!

That is what I would stray towards as well? But I understand folks being very frustrated at the All-Star break if things don't run smoothly.

How long of a leash should the Royals give Jac Caglianone to start 2026?
The Royals 2024 first-rounder burned through the farm system, but fell flat in his first MLB foray. How quickly should Kansas City fans panic in 2026?
I tried to be fair and realistic in my latest piece for Kings of Kauffman. Jac Caglianone carries heavy expectations as we head into 2026, but if worst comes to worst when should fans begin to panic? What factor could potentially cause a slow start to the season?

It is hard to blame Texas' offensive struggles on Manning after three straight drops to kill that drive!

It is tough for me, because Donovan is a decent fit for KC, but Cameron specifically feels too rich for a 1-for-1. I would ask for an additional piece, perhaps Nathan Church?

I just turned down a sportsbook sponsoring the podcast, and I'm grateful to have my co-host @hokius.fromthehawkseye.com backing the decision. I would love to generate more revenue to reinvest in the pod, but not at the expense of our values or conscience.

For 28 teams, the 2025 season is in the books and has been for dynasty managers for quite some time. The year brought plenty of twists and turns, but how do they impact 2026 and beyond?

I don't think about this article much. I needed to get these feelings out, and luckily had the outlet to do so.
Reading this again evokes a range of emotions each time. A twinge of jealousy, some tears, knowing that my mom would be proud of me. That picture is still there, and I am still here too.

KC Royals: Nate Eaton, a ball park, and a picture
The offseason takes away baseball for the most part. But, no matter the time of year, I see KC Royals outfielder Nate Eaton.
I am very grateful to @pglancy.bsky.social for sharing this story this week, not for the clicks, but for giving me the opportunity to reread it. Many sports articles focus on the moment or the latest rumor, and often have a short lifespan.
This one is different.
