Royals All-Star Future: Derby Dreams, Draft Day, and a Historic Hitting Streak

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Thu, 09 Jul 2026 23:30:00 GMT

All-Star Week is nearly here, the MLB Draft is around the corner, and the Kansas City Royals have plenty to talk about on both fronts. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco bring the energy, covering everything from Home Run Derby to draft strategy to a historic hitting streak from the unlikeliest of players.

Jac Caglianone is set for his first career Home Run Derby and we celebrate the power breakout that has defined his last month. Let's break down his home run projections, his raw power profile, and how he would stack up against the rest of the Derby field. Hunter Goodman's case for an invite also gets debated, alongside a broader discussion about the trend of players declining Derby participation and what that means for the event's future.

Tyler Tolbert's historic hitting streak is the standout moment from the recent Mets series recap. Jacob and Jeremy place his run in context within baseball's records, even as the series results themselves were mixed and defensive errors continued to be a problem.

With the Royals holding the sixth overall pick, we dig into the ceiling-versus-floor debate that shapes every draft strategy conversation, evaluate specific prospects who could be in play, and outline what the organization should be prioritizing given where the franchise currently sits.

Royals' Trade Deadline Pressure, Injury Woes Overshadow All-Star Honors

Kansas City Royals Baseball — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:05:00 GMT

The trade deadline is approaching, and the Kansas City Royals have decisions to make. Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco use this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast to work through every angle of what should be one of the most consequential stretches in the organization's near-term future.

The episode opens with a look at the recent homestand struggles, including a matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies, defensive inconsistency, and a bullpen that has not been able to stabilize for any sustained period. The coaching staff's decision-making and lineup management draw comparison to how the Phillies have navigated their own challenges.

The injury report continues to be long and consequential. Kyle Isbel has suffered a setback, Vinnie Pasquantino heads to Omaha, and Maikel Garcia's status is cloudier than a Kansas spring sky. Cole Ragans' injury gives him a trifecta of surgeries that no pitcher should look to achieve.

On a more celebratory note, Bobby Witt Jr. and Michael Wacha earned All-Star selections, recognition that the hosts acknowledge with appropriate pride before turning the conversation back to what the trade value could look like if the front office decides to be aggressive sellers. The Lugo and Wacha trade conversation from previous episodes gets expanded here, with Salvador Perez's potential trade value, injury concerns, and legacy also entering the discussion.

The talent pipeline evaluation is thorough. Jacob and Jeremy work through prospect valuations, FanGraphs future value grades, and specific names the organization should be targeting in return if they move established pieces. The hosts also examine the Minnesota Twins' recent fire sale as a case study for what a bold deadline approach could look like, and whether the Royals' front office has the appetite to follow that model.
