This week on Drop the Ball, we discuss Brady Singer coming back to Kauffman Stadium, which makes us wonder: did we give him up too soon? We highlight what position we think the Royals should go after on the trade market, it’s not what you think. What’s going on with Jonathan India and Michael Massey? Couple Royals receive promotions and hopefully John Rave can solve some of the outfield problems. Cags will soon be here, so we look to what could this team look like with him on it. Then we end it with America’s favorite segment: Drop the Ball! 

After a flurry of moves in a busy week of baseball, Preston and Matt discuss how the latest roster shakeups impact the Royals roster. They take a look at what might come next, and what will the Royals do with Noah Cameron once the rotation is healthy again?

You can't talk about the Royals without mentioning Jac Caglianone, so of course there's talk about Jac with some word from Royals' GM J.J. Picollo. That all comes before our usual minor league update to wrap the show!

The guys get together to discuss the latest bevy of injuries to hit the Royals. This time, they've reached the starting rotation — something we didn't see much at all last season. What comes next? Are there options in the system that could impact?Plus, a closer look at the minor leagues with our usual spotlight segment. Yes, of course we mention Jac Caglianone.

The Fountain Cast returns on the heels of a nice seven-game winning streak for the Royals! Preston and Matt discuss the team's dominant pitching staff so far in 2025. They also give their one move to hopefully kick-start the offense. Of course, also a look at some minor league standouts while keeping tabs on Noah Cameron's phenomenal big league debut.

But they’re not willing to sacrifice the season. The Royals lost six in a row… right when we told you to calm down. So that one’s on us. But we chat how the offense can be better outside of the two obvious subjects. Losing embarrassing ways just is a constant and it has to end. But you gotta just put it behind you. We also highlight the starting pitching and how nails it has been all year. Then of course we end it with America’s favorite segment: Drop the Ball!

This week, we’re BACK for the first time during season to discuss how the boys are playing ball! The offense is sputtering except for Bobby Witt Jr. So we look at an  option at the minor league level that’s worth a shot. And tip of the hat to Maikel Garcia, who is still putting it together. We remind to calm down… it’s not been 20 games yet, so no need to over exaggerate. The starting pitching has been the strong suit, as we highlight the crown jewel of the rotation, we’ll let you guess who that is coming up. The bullpen has had its struggles but the backend is nails. Then we end it with America’s favorite segment: “Drop the Ball”! 

Matt and Preston are back to discuss the early season Royals results. They cover the team's first series win of the season, as well as strong performers and some disappointing players to open the 2025 season. Plus, maybe a Kansas City outfielder you shouldn't be as worried about. Finally, they look at some minor league hot starts from some key Royals prospects in opening weekend.

This week, the guys highlight the finalized roster for Opening Day 2025! We give our picks on who could breakout, surprise, our picks to click, and a few more predictions for the Royals you won’t want to miss. Mark Canha is now a Royal, and we see how he fits into the puzzle. There was some controversy over the last couple bench spots, so we also put our two cents in, on how that will work out. Then we highlight the rest of Major League Baseball! Putting our spin on who’s going to do what in each division. And of course, we end it with America’s favorite segment: Drop the Ball!
