Private equity's stake in minor-league baseball continues to grow exponentially. But where did it all start? Writer @jenramose.online joined @hokius.fromthehawkseye.com and myself to discuss the history and implications in our latest RR episode.

It’s the post-Winter Meetings flurry!

#Royals add Collins, Mears in trade with Brewers, send Zerpa to Milwaukee. That’s two new outfielders in the span of a couple of days for KC, but that doesn’t mean they’ll stop looking for more offense: www.mlb.com/news/royals-...

The #Royals left side of the infield is one of the best in baseball. Now the two hitters are anchored there until at least 2030 with Maikel Garcia finalizing an extension today. A breakdown of the money is within, along with more on Garcia's breakout year: www.mlb.com/royals/news/...

I feel somewhat vindicated that I wrote about Thomas being a good platoon partner for Yaz (if KC brought him back). Now he could be one for Caglianone!

"a right-handed platoon partner won’t solve everything, but they could be an efficient first step toward fielding a competitive outfield in 2026."

No, Kevin Newman is not the infield solution.

No, Lane Thomas is not the big outfield bat.

But damn, locking up Maikel Garcia for six years? BANGER

Maikel Garcia's five-year contract extension is worth a guaranteed $57.5 million, source tells mlb.com, though the club option and escalators in the deal can get it into the $85 million range.

Check out our latest episode, live on @royalsreview.bsky.social!

We spent most of the episode discussing some of Kansas City's worst free-agent deals, and there are plenty of options. Is there someone we missed, or a bad contract that is the WORST?

The Royals' ifs keep piling up, and they have a heap at second base right now.

The Royals have a good number of second base options, but none are close to a sure thing heading into the 2026 season.

I tried to be fair and realistic in my latest piece for Kings of Kauffman. Jac Caglianone carries heavy expectations as we head into 2026, but if worst comes to worst when should fans begin to panic? What factor could potentially cause a slow start to the season?

How long of a leash should the Royals give Jac Caglianone to start 2026?
The Royals 2024 first-rounder burned through the farm system, but fell flat in his first MLB foray. How quickly should Kansas City fans panic in 2026?
