Who Will The Royals Trade?

Episode 18

Monday, July 20, 2026 • Duration 54:03

Today we go over the probability of every Royal on the 40-man roster to get traded (based on how well we think we know the front office). It's been a tough season but the Trade Deadline is always something that can keep an awful season bearable. We also give Tyler Tolbert & Isaac Collins their flowers... and end with a positive outlook on this Royals' season as a whole.

KC Current Thoughts: Charlie Mae's Mom Is Back!

Episode 17

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 • Duration 36:07

The KC Current suffered an embarrassing loss to the Orlando Pride over the weekend. Chris Armas made a lot of questionable coaching decisions but is he really what's to blame for this Current team that can hardly ever win on the road? Luckily there's quite a few good things going on like the return of Vanessa Dibernardo, and Debinha, as well as the incredibly consistent and precise play of Croix Bethune.

We also discuss the High Impact Player rule and why it's great for beloved players like Trinity Rodman and Temwa Chawinga but ultimately bad for the league going forward.

Thanks for listening!

How Can The Kansas City Royals Bounce Back?

Episode 12

Sunday, April 19, 2026 • Duration 36:54

We're a little dejected this week. We dive into the Royals' abhorrent start as well as a few positive trends we're seeing. We also recap our experience at the KC Current's Teal Rising Cup and talk about our hopes for the Current's season when it resumes at the end of the month. A lot of drama just happened between Salvador Perez and Manager Matt Quatraro but we recorded literally right before it all went down. Regardless, we hope you enjoy!
