It’s the All-Star break, but there’s no rest for Royals Rundown! Hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco are joined by former Royals Review writer Shaun Newkirk to break down the Kansas City Royals' presence in the Midsummer Classic—and what it really means for the second half of the season.
From Kris Bubic’s All-Star outing to the curious trade for Adam Frazier, the trio dives into what’s working (and what definitely isn’t) for the Royals. Are exhibition games worth the injury risk? Was trading for a veteran utility man the best move for a fringe playoff team? And are any Royals truly untouchable as the deadline looms?
Plus: predictions for the rest of the season, heated draft talk, and a spirited debate on whether just making the playoffs is enough for this team.
If you love honest Royals analysis, hot trade takes, and Sean’s signature sarcasm—this one’s for you.
