Time to Spend the Royals Money in Free Agency!

Will the Lockout looming, who knows how free agency is going to work? Will it be a flurry to get things done before the December 1 Lockout date, or will it be quiet until a new Collective Bargaining Agreement is reached?

David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) discuss the Royals news this week and start to put together a plan for the Royals in Free Agency.

Bobby Wins Another Award, Royals Clarify Hitting Coach Structure

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 00:19:00 GMT

Can Lucas Erceg be trusted with the ninth inning? He went down to the minors and came back, and Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco have different ideas about what that stretch showed and whether clearer bullpen roles could help Kansas City’s relievers find some consistency.

The rest of the Royals’ winter is taking shape too. Bobby Witt Jr. won his third straight Heart and Hustle Award, and the hosts get into how the award is picked. The hitting coach staff has a new look, with Conor Dawson moving to offensive coordinator and each coach bringing a different kind of expertise, and the Royals are reportedly adding a veteran pro scout from Boston. That leads to a bigger question: what do front office titles even mean now, and how should a team balance analytics, scouting, and what you see with your own eyes?

Then there is the check swing. What actually counts as a swing, how would an automated challenge system handle it, and would more generous calls put more balls in play? Jacob also shows off the ABS challenge-advisor tool he is building. And yes, there is a cautionary tale about a fake Sonny Gray report that came out of an AI-generated article.

If you want a Royals offseason conversation with some real opinions in it, press play, then tell us whether Erceg should close.

Filling Royals Hall of Fame Ballot, Venting on Gold Glove Awards

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 01:27:00 GMT

Eleven players with real cases, five spots on the ballot, and one Gold Glove result that still does not make sense. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco fill out their Royals Hall of Fame ballots on air, and they do not agree. Jacob goes with Greg Holland, Kelvin Herrera, and Wade Davis alongside Carlos Beltran and Lorenzo Cain. Jeremy takes Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer, Cain, Davis, and Zack Greinke, and says he might still change his mind. Voting is open through Monday, Nov. 16 at midnight.

The ballot is crowded because the 2014 and 2015 teams were that good, and Jeremy argues a team hall of fame should weigh two things: the numbers and what a player meant to the club. By that second test, almost everyone from those teams qualifies. They also get into what happens when the ballot thins out, and why Jarrod Dyson’s case worries Jeremy.

Then comes the shortstop Gold Glove. Bobby Witt Jr. led baseball in outs above average and still lost to Taylor Walls, and Jacob walks through the defensive runs saved gap that may explain it. Jeremy has his own theory, and admits he is biased.

The rest of the winter is on the table too: Japanese free agents racing a Dec. 1 signing deadline, a coming lockout, Rob Manfred’s salary cap comments, and Jeremy’s case that one mistake should not cost a manager his job. Both land on the same conclusion about Matt Quatraro.

If you have a ballot opinion you are itching to defend, press play, then tell us who gets your five.

Brewers Win It All, Royals Offseason Moves + the New Ballpark Survey

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Fri, 30 Oct 2026 01:18:00 GMT

The Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions, the first title in franchise history, which means the Royals now get to spend the winter wondering how Milwaukee keeps doing this. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco send the season off with William Contreras as World Series MVP and a bullpen-management debate that deserves a longer argument than it got.

Then they turn to the Royals, and Jeremy brings the homework. Part Three of “Playing Picollo” is their full offseason roster build: a trade, free-agent signings like Taylor Ward, and the 40-man roster cuts that make it all fit. Jacob gets to be the skeptic, and the Royals’ new ballpark fan survey gets the same treatment, answered line by line, from concessions to the Crown Center ballpark district.

There is also a 17-year-old in the Arizona Fall League who is moving faster than anyone expected, plus a defense of baseball on the radio after a former team executive said the sport does not need it. Both hosts disagree, loudly.

If you want to know how the Royals’ winter could play out, and whether the ballpark survey deserves your honest answers, press play, then tell us what you would put on your own roster.

Royals Move on From Five Pitchers as Offseason Timeline Looms

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:16:00 GMT

Every cut is a small verdict on last season. The Royals just handed out several, and Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco go through who is gone and why: Alex Lange, Mason Black, Connor Seabold, Alec Marsh, and Easton McGee.

Jeremy looks back at the bullpen problems that made some of these decisions feel inevitable. Jacob digs into how the Royals evaluate players, what each of these arms did and did not show, and where they might land next. The harder question is the trade-off: when does letting go of familiar faces open the door to something better, and when is it a gamble on fresh talent that nobody has proven yet?

If you want to know what the Royals are really planning for the next roster, start with who they decided not to keep. Press play, then tell us which cut surprised you most.

Royals Must Move First, AFL Update, What Makes World Series Pairing Different

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 23:42:00 GMT

Somewhere in the Kansas City Royals’ offseason plan, there should be a line that says “move first.” Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco make the case that the teams who win the winter are the ones willing to take the swing, and that a looming lockout is about to shrink the window for everyone else.

The timing is the hook. Free agents may rush to sign before any CBA shutdown, and trades could keep moving even if a lockout hits. Then an Orioles owner accidentally revealed how profitable MLB really is, which raises a fair question about payroll excuses and how fans should think about ownership. The Rays and Brewers show what that looks like in practice, building contenders through trades and accepting that a few moves will miss. Jeremy and Jacob revisit the outcomes from their trade series and see how the Baseball Trade Values model graded them.

They also fill out ballots for the first-ever Athlete1 awards, from executive of the year to rookie of the year, with breakout seasons from Pete Crow-Armstrong, Mason Miller, and Kevin McGonigle in the mix. The Arizona Fall League gets the last word, with Angeibel Gomez, Zion Rose, and Justin Lamkin all pushing for a faster path to Kansas City.

If you want to know why the winter may start earlier than you think, press play, then tell us which trade you would make first.
