Royal de Lux: A Kansas City Royals podcast

The Royals entered the maelstrom that was 2025's MLB Trade Deadline with a strong incentive to improve, and it's not hard to agree that they made a lot of quality moves that boost the team a lot. In this episode, I give my rave review of the trades Kansas City accumulated at the end of July.

The Royals finally show some fight, but there's still work to be done. Still a few things not entirely right with the team, some problems that can probably be fixed immediately, and some that may just show who the team really is.

The hype for Jac Caglianone is overwhelming. Hitting five home runs in four games, it's obviously only a matter of time before he makes his highly anticipated debut for the Kansas City Royals, and I have a specific day in mind as the most likely outcome. There's a lot more to talk about beyond that, but I know what you really want. You just want Jac, that's all you want is Jac, all you know is Jac, and what the Royals need.......... is to do something about Michael Massey.

JAC. IS. In Omaha which is ALMOST HERE. That will surely soften the blow of losing Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo, right? The Royals are going through another one of those wonderful stretches of the season where guys get hurt a lot and the team loses a lot, and something about that kinda bugs me but maybe not what you'd expect.

The Royals are absolutely spoiled by excellent pitching this season. Today, this guy on the internet talks about the "struggles" of Cole Ragans and the surprising (?) excellence of Michael Wacha and Michael Lorenzen, plus a bullpen that is borderline unbeatable. Also, talking about the offense still not being where it needs to be, Hunter Renfroe's future (or lack thereof), the continued importance of Freddy Fermin and the upcoming series against the Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals.

.The first step is another slow one for this iteration of the Royals, but I give my reasons for why that's not much of a concern. There are more legitimate reasons to be concerned which I do also break down, to be fair.

Baseball is being played again in Kansas City, but it hasn't been all sunshine in rainbows. It's hard to talk about how good or bad a team is with so few games to play, and this past weekend has given many reasons why, whether or not they even have anything to do with the Royals.
