The Royals Trade Game: Jeremy Plays GM, Jacob Plays Hardball

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 20:18:00 GMT

Jeremy Greco wants to trade for Reid Detmers. Jacob Milham is going to make him pay for it. Playing opposing GMs, the two run a full trade simulation to find out what it would really take to push the Kansas City Royals over the top, and how much of the farm system Kansas City can afford to give up.

Jeremy brings the proposals for Detmers, Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, Nick Lodolo, Ryan Feltner, and Dylan Crews. Jacob pushes back on every one of them. Along the way they argue over who is untouchable and who is in play, with Sean Gamble, David Shields, Blake Mitchell, and Kendry Chourio all part of the debate. The backdrop is a Brewers and Rays team-building lesson: two contenders that got where they are by trading for talent instead of waiting on the farm to deliver.

There is also a look at the Royals’ Gold Glove finalists, a skeptical tour of defensive metrics like SDI, and what Bobby Witt Jr. may be about to win on the awards circuit.

If you have ever shouted at your phone about a trade that never happened, this one is for you. Press play, then tell us who you would have moved.

Grading the 2026 Royals Pitchers!

Soren Petro — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 02:15:00 GMT

The Royals pitching staff was decimated with injuries this year. With the exception of Michael Wacha and Noah Cameron the results from the ones who did pitch weren’t very good.

David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) discuss just how bad it was on the mound for the Royals in 2026. The grades are ugly!

Don’t count on injury prone pitchers.
The replacements struggled as well.

Why the Royals’ New Stadium Might Fail the (Batter’s) Eye, Ear Test

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:48:00 GMT

The Royals unveiled their new downtown ballpark renderings, and the first thing people noticed was a fountain in the batter’s eye. That is roughly where the skepticism started. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco go through the covered roof, the limestone look, and the Crown Vision concept, then get to the question that matters more than any rendering: will the surrounding district, with its housing and year-round spaces, actually serve Kansas City residents, or just sound good in a press conference?

October keeps the chaos going. The Guardians, Rays, Brewers, and Dodgers series are three games deep, Jeremy has a theory about who thrives when the stakes are real, and the Dodgers’ stars have looked suspiciously mortal. Jacob is there to remind everyone how fast momentum flips.

There is also an Arizona Fall League experiment that could bring doubles and triples back to the game, a rant about the gambling ads, political spots, and horror movie trailers that interrupt playoff baseball, and the first chapter of Jeremy’s offseason “Playing Picollo” series, where the Royals’ winter plan starts to take shape.

Smart, skeptical, and a little funny, with some very honest opinions about stadium design and bad commercials. Press play, then tell us whether you would trade the fountain for a better batter’s eye.

L.P. Langevin on His Breakout Season, Recovery, and Chasing Kansas City

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Every pitching prospect has a scouting report. Not many of them will also tell you their favorite spot to hunt in Louisiana. L.P. Langevin joins Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco for a wide-ranging conversation that covers both.

The baseball side alone is worth the listen. Langevin walks through how he rebuilt his approach after an injury-shortened season, the specific work that went into cutting down walks and attacking hitters more aggressively, and why playoff pressure actually brings out his best rather than rattling him. He also opens up about winning the Royals' Dan Quisenberry Reliever of the Year award, a season capped off in a way that makes the recovery story hit even harder.

Cold tubs and offseason lifting routines give way to golf, hunting, and what life actually looks like for him in Louisiana during the winter, plus details on training alongside Carson Roccaforte and what hw would pass on to teammates heading to the Arizona Fall League.

If you want to know the person behind the strikeout totals, this is the episode.

Why a Salary Cap Won’t Fix Baseball’s Competitive Balance, Royals in AFL Updates

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 23:00:00 GMT

The Royals are watching October from the couch, which turns out to be a pretty good vantage point. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco use the postseason bracket as a case study in what actually wins in baseball, and the answer is less about payroll than the cap debate wants it to be.

MLB’s latest labor proposal gives them plenty to chew on: a 154-game season, a best-of-seven division series, extra off days, and a system that lets the top seed pick its Wild Card opponent. Jeremy takes on the salary cap head-on, arguing it cannot fix competitive balance by itself because the real issue is how teams choose to spend. The Guardians, Rays, Brewers, and Dodgers become the proof, with starting pitching depth and bullpen usage deciding who has enough arms to survive.

Then it comes home. Jeremy lays out the thinking behind his J. J. Picollo evaluation and lands on a conclusion that may surprise you: the front office is not necessarily the problem. The bigger question is resources, and what the Brewers’ habit of extending young players early has bought them. There is also a stop at the Ronald Acuña Jr. social media frenzy (a trade is far less likely than fans hope), plus a look at Angeibel Gomez and Brooks Bryan, who are turning heads in the Arizona Fall League.

If you want the version of October that comes with front office math, this one is for you. Give it a listen, then tell us whether a cap would have helped Kansas City.

The Hidden Problems with Royals Stadium Math, J.J. Picollo's Strategy

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 22:11:00 GMT

The Royals have a stadium to sell, a payroll to explain, and a lot of confidence about both. The numbers have not exactly gotten the memo. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco go through John Sherman's latest answers on spending and the stadium timeline, and the gap between the pitch and the math is where this episode lives.

Jeremy brings the skepticism, starting with why the stadium district report feels more like a sales job than a breakthrough. Then he turns it on J.J. Picollo's first four years, where he spots a pattern that keeps repeating: the Royals hold on to players long after the value is gone. Jacob counters with the labor angle, and a TV rights window that may make a lockout far less likely than the doom talk suggests.

October gets its turn too. The Padres' supposedly elite bullpen cracked under pressure, and the Brewers, Braves, and Dodgers have made some decisions that deserve a second look. It is a good reminder of how often playoff theater and playoff truth are two different things.

If you want the version of the Royals offseason that comes with receipts, this one is for you. Stream the full episode, then tell us whether the stadium math adds up for you.
