In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy "Hokius" Greco dig into a pivotal week for the Kansas City Royals and Major League Baseball.
First up: No Rule 5 Draft pick. Was this a missed opportunity or a calculated decision? The hosts explain the logic behind passing and how it ties into the club's roster philosophy.
Then, the Royals land the sixth overall pick in the MLB Draft Lottery—a welcome result that could be a turning point. Jacob and Jeremy break down what this means for the farm system and whether the team should draft for need or upside.
With key outfield targets off the board, the pressure is on. Are the Royals falling behind in free agency, or do they have something brewing behind the scenes? The episode dives into trade rumors, potential multi-team deals, and why player development and scouting remain more crucial than ever.
