Top 250 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball Prospects Rankings (November 2023 Update)
Welcome back RotoBallers to the November update of our MLB team's dynasty fantasy baseball prospects rankings for the 2023 season. We've now entered the "dead" time of the season as far as major impact to lists is concerned. The players still playing in the Arizona Fall League and winter leagues can impact their views, but […]
Luis Cessa Signs Minor League Deal With Kansas City
Free agent starting pitcher Luis Cessa has signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals. The 31-year-old posted an ugly 9.00 ERA, 2.231 WHIP, and 11:12 K/BB ratio over 26 innings (seven appearances, six starts) with the Cincinnati Reds last season. He was subsequently released by Cincinnati and then signed a minor league […]
Kyle Wright Traded To Royals
Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Kyle Wright (shoulder) has been traded to the Kansas City Royals on Friday. This is an interesting move considering Wright is expected to miss the entire 2024 campaign while recovering from shoulder surgery. When healthy, Wright has normally been a viable option, so the Royals are banking on his long term […]
Royals Land Nick Anderson In Trade With Braves
The Kansas City Royals acquired relief pitcher Nick Anderson from the Atlanta Braves on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, according to a source. The Braves were expected to non-tender Anderson, so they'll get a little cash instead. Anderson's season ended prematurely due to a shoulder injury. Before that, he went 4-0 with a 3.06 […]
Orioles Agree To Terms With Tucker Davidson
The Baltimore Orioles agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent left-hander Tucker Davidson on Monday. Davidson joined the Orioles this offseason after being claimed off waivers from the Kansas City Royals after he was non-tendered. The 27-year-old southpaw spent the 2023 regular season with the Royals and Los Angeles Angels. In his […]
Taylor Clarke Avoids Arbitration With The Royals
Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Taylor Clarke has avoided arbitration with the team and agreed to a one-year deal. The terms of the deal are not yet known, however. Clarke posted a lackluster 5.95 ERA, 1.610, and 65:24 K/BB ratio over 59 innings (58 appearances, two starts) last season in Kansas City. He has been […]
Nate Eaton Optioned To Triple-A
Kansas City Royals outfielder Nate Eaton was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday. The 26-year-old was recently designated for assignment by the organization, but cleared waivers and returns to the Royals. Eaton went 4-for-53 at the plate with two walks and 21 strikeouts over 28 games with the Royals this season. Eaton has struggled during […]
Early 2024 Fantasy Baseball ADP Analysis: Catcher, 1st Base, and 2nd Base
Remember years ago when you'd have to wait until at least January to draft? Not anymore. When one season ends, another begins. We live in a time where sites like NFBC and Fantrax allow you to draft for the following season as early as October, and many of us degenerates take advantage of that. For […]
Royals Willing To Consider Extension For Bobby Witt Jr.
It was looking unlikely that the Kansas City Royals could sign shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. to a big long-term extension after free-agent shortstops Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, Carlos Correa and Dansby Swanson agreed to contracts for a combined $957 million last offseason. It might still be a long shot, but the Royals are at least […]
Zack Greinke Undecided On His Future
Free-agent right-hander Zack Greinke is still deciding on whether he will return for another season to pitch in 2024, according to Kansas City Royals general manager JJ Picollo. Greinke is now 40 years old and doesn't have much left in the tank, but he's 21 strikeouts away from 3,000 in his career and could decide […]
Royals Designate Nate Eaton For Assignment
The Kansas City Royals designated outfielder Nate Eaton for assignment on Thursday and also reinstated eight players from the 60-day injured list now that the World Series has concluded. In his second major-league season in 2023, Eaton went 4-for-53 (.075) with an RBI, three stolen bases and two runs scored in 28 games played. In […]
Orioles Claim Tucker Davidson Off Waivers From Royals
The Baltimore Orioles claimed left-hander Tucker Davidson off waivers from the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. Davidson appeared in 38 games (one start) for the Royals and Los Angeles Angels in 2023, posting a combined 5.96 ERA (4.27 FIP), 1.62 WHIP, two saves, 19 walks and a career-high 46 strikeouts in 51 1/3 innings pitched. […]

Ryan Goins Retires From Baseball
Free-agent infielder Ryan Goins has announced his retirement from professional baseball on Tuesday. The 35-year-old hasn't played in the big leagues since the 2020 campaign. He completely sat out the 2023 season, but played in the minor leagues with the Atlanta Braves during the 2021 and 2022 campaigns. During his career, Goins slashed .228/.278/.333 with […]

Jordan Lyles Expected To Remain In Royals Rotation In 2024
Kansas City Royals right-hander Jordan Lyles is expected to remain in the club's starting rotation next season, as per general manager J.J. Picollo. Picollo also stated that Brady Singer and Cole Ragans will be in the rotation with the final two spots up for grabs. Singer and Ragans returning is hardly surprising but Lyles' inclusion […]

James McArthur Notches Third Save
Kansas City Royals relief pitcher James McArthur was called upon to hold a one-run lead versus the Houston Astros on Sunday. This was not an easy task, but McArthur was able to get the job done. McArthur allowed one hit, but was able to get out of the jam and record his third save of […]
