Royals Weekly - Kansas City Royals Podcast

The Royals had a rough 2026. We look back at the prediction we made before the season to see if we can find something sadder than the Royals' season. We could not. But we also do an off-season preview, considering how the Royals might transform their roster to give it a go in 2027.

Plus, some poetry to soothe the soul.

Plus, some sage wisdom from the great Jackson Browne.
