| 4/21/25 | Royals Could Cut Ties With Starting Pitcher Via Trade To Braves. Are the Kansas City Royals going to have the same pitching rotation once July's trade deadline comes and goes? Kansas City entered Monday with a disappointing 9-14 record and have lost eight of its last 10 games. The season schedule is not even 15 percent complete, so it's too early to make any definitive statements about the Royals' playoff chances, but the early returns on the 2025 season aren't excellent. If the Royals surprisingly fall out of divisional contention by the time the deadline arrives, they might be open to moving left-hander Kris Bubic, who doesn't have multiple years of team control ahead of him like Cole Ragans, Seth Lugo, and Michael Wacha do.

| 4/01/25 | Why Royals Starter's Dominant 1st Outing Could Be Game-Changer For 2025 Campaign. The Kansas City Royals scored 11 runs in a much-needed blowout win on Monday, but the offense wasn't the real story. 27-year-old lefty Kris Bubic was making his return to the starting rotation for the first time since 2023, and he didn't just meet expectations. The Royals put a big bet on Bubic this offseason when they traded fellow starter Brady Singer to the Cincinnati Reds for leadoff man Jonathan India. The former first-round pick had an ERA close to five as a starter in his career, but Kansas City was counting on the adjustments he made to his game last season, when he returned in July as a reliever coming off Tommy John surgery, carrying over into 2025.
