KANSAS CITY -- On a cold winter day during this past offseason, a dozen Royals media members gathered in the Kauffman Stadium press box to go through decades of baseball history. Every single game Hall of Fame broadcaster Denny Matthews has ever called -- starting from the first Royals game

PITTSBURGH -- On one hand, Maikel Garcia is happy. On the other hand, the Royals’ third baseman is a little sad. Garcia is thankful to be back in the starting lineup for the final days of the 2026 regular season. He has been limited to just 76 games, because of
