Before outfielder Jac Caglianone and catcher Carter Jensen made their way to the Major Leagues, they were among the Royals’ prospects showcasing their talent in the Arizona Fall League's Fall Stars Game two years ago. Now, another group of Kansas City's young talent is getting its turn.

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Most prospects aren't accustomed to playing in October, let alone November, so the Arizona Fall League can be a grind. Stacking 30 more games on top of 130 or so during the Minor League regular season leaves a lot of guys dragging at the end of the

For nine Royals prospects, the road to 2027 is running through the Arizona desert. With the Arizona Fall League season past its halfway point, Kansas City's young talent is taking advantage of the different opportunities that come with playing for the Surprise Saguaros.

MESA, Ariz. – The Arizona Fall League is perennially stacked with the game’s top prospect talent. This go-round, there are 15 members of the Top 100 list in the desert, including those who might soon go on to serve as the face of their respective franchises. Former big leaguer Daniel

Zion Rose was aware of the projections. Ranked as MLB Pipeline's No. 30 prospect in the 2026 Draft class, he was typically slotted to go in the 20s in mock projections, with a few clubs looking at college bats occasionally tied to him in the upper teens. His power and

KANSAS CITY -- While the Royals are wrapping up the season at the Major League level, down in the Minor Leagues -- the party is just getting started. The Royals hosted their annual Futures Night on Friday prior to the opener against the Guardians at Kauffman Stadium, where an impressive

One of the most pivotal stops in a prospect's development is the High-A level. Top Draft picks out of college often begin their pro journey at High-A, and it's often the level where you can find an organization's best young talent. On Wednesday, Minor League Baseball announced its 2026 High-A

No Royals affiliate has been more loaded with talent this season than at High-A. While the roster has fluctuated over the season, Quad Cities ended the year with five of Kansas City's seven best players on the Top 30 Prospects list. So it was only fitting that when the River

Zion Rose is on the board. The Royals’ No. 6 prospect swatted his first professional homer Saturday, headlining his 2-for-3 night at the plate in High-A Quad Cities' 8-5 win over Dayton at Day Air Ballpark. Rose’s performance marks already his fourth multihit game with the River Bandits.

And then there were four. With the conclusion of pool play in the second-ever DSL Cup on Saturday morning, the road to crowning this year's Dominican Summer League champion has been narrowed to the Padres Gold, Royals Fortuna, Reds and Giants Black squads.
