Jac Caglianone and Noah Cameron can’t be stopped. They are giving us hope for the future of the Royals. Earlier this year John Sherman did an interview where he gave a vote of confidence for JJ Picollo. Today we are going to look over JJ’s resume and answer the question of whether or not he has done a good job as GM. Let us know how you would grade his time as Royals GM! The Royals are moving forward on the downtown stadium and they released some new renderings. We react to those in real time!

The Royals have not been half bad over the last 7 games. Jac Caglianone has carried the team and Noah Cameron has been dominant. The Royals made a move to help the bullpen by signing future hall of famer Craig Kimbrel. We want the Royals to call up Gavin Cross. Its time to send Starling Marte on his way and let players that may actually be part of the future have some playing time in the bigs. John Sherman did an interview talking about what the Royals offseason plans were. Some things seemed obvious, other things he said set off alarm bells. We look at the free agents available after the season to see who can help the Royals in the future. Moses got roasted on Instagram and wants to clear his name. He needs to watch more movies is the moral of the story.

The trade deadline is over. It was more about what the Royals didn't do versus what they did do. Its time for the leadership on this team to change. We'll get into the Royals compensation for the trades they made and give this deadline a letter grade. We'll take a tour around the league and look at the biggest trades in MLB.

We’ll get into some of those details and what the timeline currently looks like. The all-star game is around the corner, which means the homerun derby is near.

Moses might have jinxed the Kansas City Mavericks. Brandon is going to try to hold him accountable. The Royals season continues to go the opposite of how we want it to. The record keeps getting worse and now the injuries are stacking up. On a positive note Bobby Witt Jr has a huge lead in the all-star voting. 4th of July is on the horizon and MLB released the uniforms the teams will be wearing. Will the prices be reasonable? Of course they won’t. Is hitting for the cycle or pitching a perfect game more exciting in baseball? Kansas City is showing out for the World Cup. It has been awesome to see everybody coming in and enjoying their time here.

Brandon and Moses are back after a great Memorial Day Weekend! The Royals blew it again and we’re going to try and figure out what the Royals need to do to get this thing back on the rails, but is it too late? Salvador Perez just made history again! He is well on his way to Cooperstown. Its a long season, we’re taking a trip around the minor leagues to get everyone familiar with the Royals farm system and we have a few national stories that are worth mentioning!
