At quarter season, Royals matching last year’s pace. Is that good enough?

from SportsBeat KC · host The Kansas City Star

After 43 games the Royals have the same record as 2024 -- 25-18. Does it feel the same? A year ago, Royals fans were thrilled with the fast start with the team coming off a 106-loss season. This year, with higher expectations, it’s easier to wonder if the team is reaching its potential. On SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast presented by Underdog, beat writer Jaylon Thompson discusses the strengths and weaknesses of a Royals team at the season’s quarter pole. The pitching has been outstanding. The hitting? The Royals are still waiting for consistent bats to arrive. There may be a solution in that department. When will the Royals summon minor-league slugger and top prospect Jac Caglianone to the majors? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
