The Kansas City Royals are sitting at .500—but is it progress or déjà vu? In this episode of Royals Rundown, Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco dive into the MLB debut of Noah Cameron, breaking down his performance and what Royals fans should expect going forward.
The duo also takes a close look at the Royals’ pitching improvements, including solid outings from Michael Lorenzen and a surprisingly effective bullpen. But not everything’s sunshine and dingers—hitting struggles and a low team wRC+ are dragging the Royals down.
Could the Royals become sellers at the trade deadline? Who are the potential trade chips? And what’s it going to take for this team to finally break through? Plus, a quick recap of their game at Steinbrenner Field and a sneak peek at upcoming articles.
Tune in for Royals insights, analysis, and a few laughs (because if you’re a Royals fan, you need them).
