As stated before, these are my rankings and are ordered more in terms of how “interesting they will be to follow” this year rather… Read More The Royals’ Top-30 Prospects to Watch for 2025: 30-21
As mentioned in my introductory post, I will start by looking at ten Royals prospects who missed my Top-30 cut. In some ways, I could have made a “Top 40 Prospects” watch list for the 2025 season, which would have included these ten I omitted from the Top 30. However, I didn’t want to go… Read More The Royals’ Top-30 Prospects to Watch for 2025: Honorable Mentions
I always share a Royals Top Prospects list for the upcoming season every offseason. I started doing this in 2020, which means I am beginning my sixth year of this “Royals Prospects to Watch” series on this blog. By no means am I a “prospect expert.” I would defer to guys like Jared Perkins of… Read More An Introduction to the Royals’ Top-30 Prospects to Watch for 2025
It has been a few days since the New York Yankees eliminated the Royals in the American League Division Series. Baseball has now proceeded to the League Championship Series rounds, with the Cleveland Guardians beating the Detroit Tigers in game five of their ALDS series.

With it now being 2024, it seems like a good time to release my “Top 30 Prospects to Watch” in the Royals system for the upcoming 2024 season. To be frank, I am not a Minor League or prospect expert by any means. There are a lot of other Royals content creators on the web… Read More The Royals Reporter’s “Top 30 Prospects to Watch” For 2024
The great thing about baseball in Spring Training (Royals baseball especially) is that hope always runs high in the desert air of Surprise, Arizona. Like many Royals fans starved for success, I had high hopes for the season. Granted, did I think this team was a playoff-caliber squad? Absolutely not. They were too young and… Read More Reviewing My Royals 2023 Predictions (Part 1)
It’s been a weird week, especially in the wake of Zack Greinke’s signing announcement, but nothing official coming from the Royals as of yet. Granted, JJ Picollo and the Royals may be finalizing a corresponding move to clear space on the 40-man roster for Greinke (they are currently at 41, according to Roster Resource). And… Read More “Reporter Jottings”: Keith Law Releases Rankings; Royals to Sign Cuban Prospect; Another Sleeper MiLB Pitching Signing?
If there is one thing I have learned about my eight-plus years living in Kansas City (and 10+ years living in the Midwest in general), it’s that Kansas City and St. Louis folks tend to butt heads, even though the chip is bigger on the shoulders of Kansas City natives than St. Louis ones.
