The Kansas City Royals broke even last week amid auditions for a spot in the 2027 bullpen.

They'll have more opportunities this week on their west coast swing against the Dodgers and Angels.

The Royals front office decided that despite their record and a roster full of injured pitchers, they're contenders for 2027 so they need to hang onto all their controllable assets. We'll explain why that was beyond dumb, breakdown the trades they did make, talk about a sad week of play on the field, and preview this week's games.

Plus, some sage wisdom from the great Jackson Browne.

The Royals have a lot of things not working right now. The rotation. The bullpen. The offense. None of it's working. That's probably why they managed only one win last week. The offense has cooled off considerably; should the Royals front office be focusing on an offensive overhaul?

We discuss all this and more on this week's episode!

The Royals had another rough week last week thanks (once again) to a struggling bullpen. But they were also bit by the injury bug, as Vinnie Pasquantino and Kyle Isbel hit the IL with significant injuries. How will these injuries effect the team in the short and long term? We talk all about it during our spotlight segment. Plus, a preview of this week's Nationals and Cardinals series. And plenty of shenanigans!
