In my last post, I wrote about four Royals hitters to be optimistic about, based on their 2024 Steamer projections. On the pitching end, I wanted to highlight a few starting pitchers individually whose projections stood out, and then look at some relievers as a group who also could be intriguing according to Steamer. Here’s… Read More Can Brady Singer Live Up To (Or Surpass) His Steamer Projections?
MLB Free Agency officially begins on Monday and it should be an interesting offseason for the Kansas City Royals.

Already, the Royals have trimmed their… Read More Five Free Agent Starting Pitchers the Royals Should Target

Do “openers” like Carlos Hernandez and Josh Staumont… Read More Are Things (Finally) Looking Up for Royals Starting Pitchers?
Brad Keller continues to be an enigma for Matt Quatraro and the Royals coaching staff. The 27-year-old Rule 5 Draft pick is coming off two rough seasons in which he posted a 5.39 ERA in 2021 and a 5.09 ERA in 2022.
