Kansas City Royals — Latest News

Bradish nearly perfect through six, earns win vs. Royals

Bradish's 3.61 ERA and 0.303 xwOBA rank among BAL's best starters, and his strong outing improves his record to 6-9 despite the Orioles' -25 run differential sitting fifth in the AL East.

Royals Sign Vince Velasquez To Minor League Contract

Velasquez posted a 0.30 WHIP across 3.1 IP with the Cubs before electing free agency in June. KC's rotation is struggling (4.56-5.08 ERA from starters 2-5) but Velasquez's minimal MLB activity this season offers no immediate rotation help.

Royals Expected To Maintain High Asking Price On Wacha, Lugo

Wacha (3.45 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 91 SO) remains KC's only viable trade asset as a sub-4 ERA starter; Lugo (4.56 ERA, 1.43 WHIP) offers minimal leverage. At 38-55 with a -71 run differential, the Royals' leverage erodes by the day unless a contender absorbs both salary risk and mediocre peripherals.

Mets To Select Dan Hammer

Hammer joins a bullpen where Weaver (1.90 ERA) and Raley (2.23 ERA) are carrying the load, while Williams (4.85 ERA) and Minter (0.53 ERA in 17 G) round out high-leverage options. The move addresses depth as New York sits 38-54 with a -64 run differential heading into tomorrow's series finale against Kansas City.

Last Night In Baseball: Rockies rally, Ohtani reaches milestones, Royals-Mets play high-scoring game

Ohtani (1.79 ERA, 8-2, 0.257 xwOBA) continues elite two-way production. Rockies improved to 38-55 with the win despite a -79 run differential, while Mets and Royals—both 38-54—remain interchangeable in their respective divisions.
