The Kansas City Royals’ 2025 season is winding down, but the front office has no time to rest—and neither do Royals Rundown hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy "Hokius" Greco. In this jam-packed episode, the duo breaks down what went right, what went wrong, and how the Royals can take the next step in 2026.
They highlight standout performances from players like Carter Jensen and Cal Raleigh, assess the current value of players like Kyle Isbel and Mike Yastrzemski, and explore the importance of Cole Ragans and Ryan Bergert for next year’s pitching depth.
The conversation also dives into offseason strategy: free agency, payroll projections, player options, and whether Kansas City can really build around Bobby Witt Jr.—or risk losing more than just games. It’s a brutally honest and occasionally hilarious look at the Royals’ rebuild, roster construction, and what fans can realistically hope for this offseason.
