This week on the Royals Rundown Podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco bring listeners up to speed on the latest around the Kansas City Royals. The duo begins with an explainer on the MLB pre-arbitration bonus pool, including how it benefits rising talent and where Royals players fit into the picture.

Next, they preview the upcoming Royals Rally, an offseason fan-favorite event that builds excitement ahead of Spring Training. But the heart of the episode focuses on free agency history and how the Royals have fared with major contracts, from Jose Guillen and Ian Kennedy to Omar Infante and Scott Elarton.

With the Winter Meetings fast approaching, attention turns to trade rumors involving star Cole Ragans. Could he be on the move, and what kind of return would justify such a deal? The conversation digs into player performance, contract value, and what it all means for the Royals’ evolving team-building strategy.

They close the episode with game reviews, pop culture talk, and reflections on how Royals fans can stay informed and engaged through platforms like Royals Review and this very podcast.
