I was able to get in a post for today, right before we officially enter 2025, in less than 12 hours. In this post, I will re-share five of my favorite stories from the 2024 season. Some of the stories were among the most popular on the site in the past year. However, some of… Read More My Favorite Royals Articles From 2024
I wanted to wait until tomorrow to write this, but I am unsure if I will have time to post. If I do, I’ll have a more reflective post, looking at all my best posts from the 2024 season. So, hopefully, I’ll be able to do so, as I would like to end the year… Read More Thank You for Following the Royals Reporter in 2024 (And Onward to 2025)
On December 26th, I shared and analyzed the TJ Stats Triple-A Statcast cards of eight Royals hitters who primarily played in Triple-A in 2024. The article gave Royals fans some food for thought for what the Kansas City roster could look like when Spring Training starts in late February. Furthermore, it gave more detailed metrics… Read More Reviewing the Triple-A Statcast Cards of Six Royals Pitchers (And One No Longer With KC)
Earlier this month, the Royals opened their fan voting portion for the Royals Hall of Fame Class of 2025. Safe to say, with nine eligible candidates, it was a loaded group for fans to vote for, as seen in the Royals tweet below. Fans could only vote on five players, meaning that four from this… Read More My Class of 2025 Royals Hall of Fame Ballot
I hope everyone who follows this blog had a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays with family and friends. This season can be a joyous but complicated time, especially for families who may be apart for various reasons. As someone who lives in Kansas City but has a sister in Portland, ME, and parents back in… Read More Reviewing the Triple-A Statcast Cards of Eight Royals Hitters
It’s December 23rd, officially the holiday of “Festivus ” for Seinfeld fans. For those unaware of the holiday (or those who watched “Friends” instead of “Seinfeld”), “Festivus” was a holiday made up by George’s dad, Frank, to be a secular “alternative” to Christmas. Of course, the “spirit” of “Festivus” is much different from Christmas or… Read More Celebrating a Royals-Themed “Festivus”
It’s been a quiet December for the Royals, which explains the lack of posts this month, especially over the past week. Furthermore, the end of the semester is always a busy one for me professionally, but now that I am officially on Winter Break, I will try to do some smaller posts over the next… Read More Way-Too-Early AL Central Predictions for 2025 (Version 1.0)
The Royals have stayed pat on the hot stove since the conclusion of the Winter Meetings. For some Royals fans, that may be infuriating, especially since the club should capitalize on the positive momentum built in 2024 after an 86-76 season and appearance in the ALDS. On the other hand, the Royals won in 2024… Read More Analyzing the Royals’ 2025 Steamer Projections: Outfielders
The MLB Winter Meetings came and went this week without much action from the Kansas City Royals. Not only did the Royals not sign any free agents or make any trades during the weeklong executive and media frenzy in Dallas, but they also didn’t draft anyone in the MLB portion of the Rule 5 Draft.… Read More Three Royals Takeaways From the MLB Winter Meetings
I have been delaying this post for a few days, hoping the Royals would make some noise during the MLB Winter Meetings. Unfortunately, Kansas City has stood pat, even with other AL Central teams making significant moves during the Winter Meetings. On Tuesday, the Cleveland Guardians made a slew of moves. First, they traded away… Read More Analyzing the Royals’ 2025 Steamer Projections: Infielders
