What I thoroughly do not understand. #Royals fans are clamoring for the Royals to make a play for Adolis Garcia.
Mike Tauchman was non-tendered, too, and he was a 115 wRC+ hitter last year.
Tauchman's going to cost $3M; Garcia at least $10M.
Where's the Tauchman love?

Same. Baltimore finished 26th in team ERA last season. Rodriguez was their best starter in 2024 but missed all of ‘25 with injury. Baltimore has no trouble scoring runs and lots of young hitting talent.
The only logical explanation is that Baltimore doesn’t think Rodriguez can be what he was.

Almost every time an MLB trade happens, I can see the logic for both sides.
In this O's-Angels trade, I can't find the logical underpinning unless Baltimore is really worried about Rodriguez's recovery from elbow issues.

O's Send Grayson Rodriguez To Angels For Taylor Ward
The O's sent young starter Grayson Rodriguez to the Angels in a trade that landed Baltimore slugger Taylor Ward.

I don't think the #Royals could ask for more than they're getting from Daniel Vazquez and Carson Roccaforte down in the Arizona Fall League.
Vazquez: 22 G, 79 AB, .329/.459/.468
Roccafore: 18 G, 68 AB, .279/.393/.485
Both look like legit hitting prospects which the system desperately needs.

The #Royals have found their second assistant hitting coach. Apparently, Thames is going to be the old school to Dawson’s new school.
I prefer an all new school approach personally.

You pinch run Tolbert and Isbel bunts at the first pitch, swings at the second pitch, and bunts at the third pitch foul.
Just a terrible, terrible plate appearance.
Let Tolbert steal. Don't bunt at balls over your head.
This isn't complicated.

Good PA from Cags until that last pitch. Couldn’t lay off a 92 MPH fastball that was ball four.

I would MUCH rather Jensen be starting at catcher.

This is a great way of putting it from Matt Quatraro. Having a good approach is in part understanding how pitchers want to get you out.
And I love that he refers to “perceived” struggles rather than “struggles” bc it indicates that Cags was letting the results get to him.

Great win! The boys played solid ball. Bob and. Innie had a few hits. Loftin came up big, as did Garcia.
And the bullpen carried 9 IP of 3 run ball.

I’d sure love it if the Royals won this game … and the next one … and 10 more after that.

Royals take the lead! Real hanger to Garcia and he does damage on it.
His concerted effort to pull balls in the air has turned him into one of the game’s most valuable infielders.
