In Brett Phillips first 4 games as a starter for the Royals, he‘s hit .267/.313/.600 with 4 hits, 2 being doubles and 1 a home run. He’s made three spectacular defensive plays and shown off the 100mph+ arm.
If you like watching entertaining baseball, watch Phillips play.

Moustakas could easily be a Royals HoF when it’s all said & done. What he helped create in KC is going to be hard to replicate.
On his way out he inadvertently helped push KC in the right direction in the rebuild.
Will miss seeing Moose play 3B. Best of luck in MIL!

I miss that leg kick, fire, and anticipation of seeing something amazing Yordano brought every game.

KC will forever love you.
Never Forget when Yordano Ventura pitched the game of his life in game 6 of the World Series dedicated to his best friend Oscar Taveras who died 3 days earlier 😭❤

Jon Jay did exactly what the Royals needed him to do. Played solid defense. Played consistent at the plate. And played at a high enough level to be flipped.
Royals got the 26th ranked prospect in Arizona’s system and a potential bullpen arm starting in AA.
Thank you Jon Jay!

Brandon Maurer officially has a 14.25 ERA this year and a 10.41 ERA as a Royal.
If he isn’t the worst pitcher in franchise history I would be shocked.
Make the right move here Royals. DFA him and let him walk.

If the Royals would have played the young players all year they’d be World Series favorites. That’s what I’m getting from these last few Series.

The Kansas City Royals highlight of the day is Yordano Ventura dominating game 6 of the 2014 World Series to force a game 7.
One of the greatest performances by Yordano. I’ll never forget this one. RIP Ace!

“Adalberto Mondesi can’t hit big league pitching.”
2018 numbers:
.250/.270/.444 with 8 XBH
July numbers (10 games):
.297/.316/.514 with 4 XBH
Last 9 games:
.324/.343/.559 with 4 XBH
Since his call up June 17 he hasn’t started 3 games.
Amazing what consistent ABs can do.

Of his 5 hits, three are extra-base hits (1 double and 2 triples)

In quiet news as well, Paulo Orlando signed a minor league deal with the LA Dodgers.

The Royals and Whit Merrifield are hashing our a 4-year deal. This is essentially the Royals buying out the remaining 4 years Merrifield has, compensating him for what he’s done/shows he can do for the foreseeable future.
