4/14/25 | New Royals Leadoff Man Listed As One Of Team's Unluckiest Hitters. The Kansas City Royals managed to salvage their series finale against the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday, winning by a final score of 4-2 and avoiding a sweep. The Royals improved to 8-8 on the year and they sit 1 1/2 games back of the first-place Detroit Tigers in the American League Central. The third-place Royals are looking to build off of their 2024 success after they secured a Wild Card spot and made it to the ALDS. Jacob Milham of FanSided listed newcomer Jonathan India as somebody who has been unlucky this year. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/royals/news/new-royals-lead... |
4/11/25 | Guardians-Royals has craziest strikeout in MLB history, thanks to Hunter Gaddis and Jonathan India. Every night in baseball, it seems, something happens that was totally unpredictable or something you've never seen before. In an otherwise insignificant game on the second Friday in April, strikeout magic happened. Here's the scene: Jonathan India is batting for the Royals. Hunter Gaddis is pitching for the Guardians.

4/02/25 | Phillies-Royals Blockbuster Trade Idea Ships $3 Million Outfield Slugger To KC. The Kansas City Royals' biggest weakness is clear as day, and it hasn't changed since the start of last season: the outfield. New leadoff hitter Jonathan India is mixing in as the starting left fielder on occasion (a position he's never played at the big-league level), and that's the only meaningful change the Royals made to a position group that capped their potential at 86 wins in 2024. Unless MJ Melendez or Hunter Renfroe steps up and becomes an above-average hitter this season, the Royals will almost certainly be in the trade market for better offense from their outfield this summer. In a recent article, Athlon's Matthew Sullivan proposed a hypothetical trade that would land Phillies outfielder and fan-favorite Brandon Marsh in Kansas City, with a two-for-one swap involving Renfroe as the blueprint.
