The Royals celebrated the Kansas City career of Lorenzo Cain over the weekend with a contract-signing ceremony that allowed him to retire as Royal. On today's episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star's sports podcast, you'll hear from Cain about his KC career, with an emphasis on the 2014 and 2015 postseasons. The occasion got us wondering about who else might receive such a ceremony with the Royals, and/or eventually join the team's hall of fame. Manager Ned Yost will be the first from the group to enter the hall at a September ceremony. But who else? It's a little tricky for this reason: George Brett, Frank White, Amos Otis, Hal McRae and Willie Wilson played most of (or all of) their respective MLB careers in Kansas City. They're the franchise's top-five players in games played. Cain tweet The second championship stretch for the Royals was populated with players who spent eight or fewer seasons with the Royals: Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Alcides Escobar, Wade Davis and Greg Holland, among others. But player movement is more common now and should be taken into account when considering such an honor. Besides, there are Hall of Fame players from the earlier era who weren't Royals lifers (for instance, John Mayberry spent just six of his 15 big-league seasons in Kansas City). Our list of players from the 2014-15 era who should enter the Royals Hall of Fame includes Salvador Perez, Alex Gordon, Cain, Hosmer, Moustakas, Escobar, Kelvin Herrera, Davis and Holland. Maybe the HDH bullpen enters as a trio. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

En este episodio hablamos sobre la confirmación de Gleyber Torres y Eugenio Suárez con los leones del Caracas, Alcides Escobar con los tiburones de la Guaira, la suspensión de Asdrúbal cabrera de 35 juegos. Hicimos un recap de los juegos de la semana, Caracas le gano a Magallanes, los cuales tienen 9 derrotas en sus últimos 10 partidos... ¿Deberia preocuparse Yadier Molina? Los cardenales de Lara siguen líderes de la LVBP, Tigres de Aragua sigue de último pero ya les está yendo muchísimo mejor...

The Nats lost 9-5 to the Mets in the series rubber match on Wednesday afternoon. Mark & Al start by digesting the fact that Juan Soto is playing Baseball for another team on the other side of the country. The franchise has lost many stars in the past few years, but this one feels different in a more profound way. (10:03) Luke Voit will join the team on Thursday in Philadelphia and will likely be at 1B and in the heart of the order. He will take the roster spot of Alcides Escobar, who has been barely playing ever since Luis Garcia got called up. (21:10) Hitting 9th and playing 3B was... Ildemaro Vargas. He is known for his glove (committed a throwing error) and not his bat (went 4 for 4). The conversation then steers to Anibal Sanchez as he struggled again on the mound. Will he be replaced in the rotation? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats were blanked by Mets 5-0 to conclude the decisive three game sweep. Mark & Al dig into how the Nationals were humbled and then some after entering the week with a bit of momentum. (11:25) Luis Garcia was called up after Alcides Escobar was placed on the IL. Davey Martinez has declared that Garcia will play SS everyday and on Wednesday he went 1 for 4 at the plate. (16:45) Evan Lee picked up the loss in his Major League debut as he was relieved in the 4th inning. Will he reamin with team or will he return to AA Harrisburg? (21:20) Mike Rizzo was asked by The Sports Junkies (106.7 The Fan) if Washington will trade Juan Soto. The hosts parse through his answer in their analysis.

The Nats took care of the Brewers 8-2 as Davey Martinez featured a new look lineup card. Al & Mark (Live from Milwaukee) recap Sunday's victory that saw Juan Soto moved down to 3rd in the order and with Keibert Ruiz now occupying the 2nd spot. The result..... eight consecutive hits in a six run 4th inning. (18:04) Nelson Cruz exited early after suffering a sprained ankle while sliding into 2nd base and was replaced by Riley Adams as DH. What will the roster move be to replace him? Josh Bell's average has fallen below .300 (.291) as he is 0 for his last 19. Is that why Bell dropped to fifth in the order instead of clean-up? (25:55) Mark handicaps the situation at SS as Dee Strange-Gordon has seen elevated playing time at the expense of Alcides Escobar. Finally, yet another update on Stephen Strasburg & Joe Ross as they will make minor league rehab starts on Tuesday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats rallied in the early innings on the Mets for an 8-3 win. Mark & Al rehash this unusual game as New York scored three runs right away, before Washington then put up all eight runs in the first two innings. Juan Soto and Nelson Cruz both went deep, which lead to a discussion about each of their season's thus far. (15:06) Cesar Hernandez had three hits before the third inning concluded as he was a big part of the early rally. Dee Strange-Gordon played shortstop for another game as Alcides Escobar remains out with an unusual affliction in his finger. (33:20) Cade Cavalli struck out six in his start for AAA Rochester on Wednesday and then the hosts look at Cole Henry's performance so far this year with Harrisburg. Could both be on the mound Washington by September? (39:46) Stephen Strasburg & Joe Ross each threw a simulated game in Florida and there is optimism that minor league rehabs might be in the near future. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Nats were outslugged by the Rockies 9-7 as Coors Field lived up to its reputation. Mark (live from Denver) and Al recap the afternoon defeat where Alcides Escobar committed his third error in under 24 hours. (10:01) Josh Rogers gave up a 3 run HR out of the bullpen as did starter Aaron Sanchez. What is Rogers' exact role on this team right now? (19:25) Juan Soto was caught napping at 3rd base for a crucial out in the 5th inning. Mark explains the "Inside Baseball" that went into that play. However, he did homer in the 1st inning. (23:31) Keibert Ruiz had a solid afternoon as he homered, doubled, and also threw out a runner trying to steal second base. (30:07) Next up is a three game series in Anaheim. Shohei Ohtani pitched on Thursday and therefore the Nationals will only see him at the plate. Plus, believe it or not, it will be the first time that Anthony Rendon will face his old team.

The Nats lost 5-2 in Colorado, but there were many positive vibes afterward as **PATRICK CORBIN THREW A COMPLETE GAME IN COORS FIELD** (No bottom of the 9th was played). Mark (from Denver) and Al rehash the left hander''s best start in years, despite the poor defensive play behind him. Davey Martinez thinks Corbin is "back", what say you? Plus, will Riley Adams become Corbin's personal catcher moving forward? (14:40) Alcides Escobar had another bad game as he committed two errors and struck out three times. Have we reached a breaking point with Escobar playing SS this year? This leads to an updated version of the conversation about the potential for Luis Garcia to be called up. (23:01) Yadiel Hernandez collected two hits while being slotted in at DH. Hernandez is batting .371 this season and it seems he is "locked in". The hosts look at his unsual situation in terms of a potential trade, because he still is under team control until the 2027 season. (31:02) Sean Doolittle was moved to the 60 day IL.

The Nats lost 9-3 in San Francisco as they scored as many runs as they committed errors. Mark (Live from Oracle Park) and Al rehash the subpar defensive effort, which included an E6 for Alcides Escobar. (07:27) Speaking of Escobar, the Rochester Red Wings tweeted out a defensive highlight made by Luis Garcia on Saturday afternoon that raised our hosts eyebrows due to the way it was typed out. (Cade Cavalli also threw his best outing of the season) (16:12) Victor Robles had six hits so far in this series. Could he be regaining his confidence at the plate? (22:02) Josh Bell had two hits on Saturday and his average is up to .365. He has been one of the best hitters in the sport so far, which creates an interesting dynamic as he is a Free Agent after the season. (34:01) Ryan Zimmerman's #11 was retired by the University of the Virginia Baseball program where he starred in the mid 2000s. The Governor as well proclaimed for April 30th to be named after him in the state for years to come. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats have now lost 8 in a row as they were swept by Miami in the series finale 3-2. Al Galdi recaps another very disappointing performance by the offense. Nelson Cruz 's average currently sits at .160 to exemplify where things stand. Juan Soto drew a pair of walks, but otherwise was hit-less at the plate. (07:38) Lucius Fox is still without a Major League hit, but did draw a walk. However, he was then promptly picked off. It was his second straight day starting at SS over Alcides Escobar. (13:31) Patrick Corbin pitched well, but still was tagged with the loss. He lasted into the 7th inning, but a HBP ended his afternoon. Hear what Davey Martinez had to say afterwards and what it means for Corbin as the team heads West. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats skid extended to six games as they lost 5-2 to visiting Miami. Mark & Al have plenty to talk about though, and begin with what exactly happened in the bottom of the 4th as the Nationals had a runner thrown out at home on back to back plays. Did Yadiel Hernandez purposely run through the stop sign? (12:05) Luis Garcia went 4 for 4 with 2 HRs for AAA Rochester on a night that Alcides Escobar's struggles continued. The hosts wonder if/when the Garcia move will be made given the difficulties Escobar is having both with the bat and the glove. (20:05) Josiah Gray matched a career high with 10 strikeouts and has pitched well in three of his four starts this year. He has 28 Ks in 20 IP this season, and there are a lot of encouraging signs to be excited about. (32:02) Patrick Corbin is not yet officially listed for Thursday vs. the Marlins. Will he make his next scheduled start? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

   Elon Musk is the new owner of Twitter and the first thing he did was lock it down from his own employees, fearing they would tamper with the service before he'd get a chance to take a look.    A liberal judge in Wyandotte County has struck down the new Congressional District 3 Map in Kansas as it now heads to Kansas Supreme Court.    The Royals are making waves for some alternative uniforms they are going to wear and that's a terrible, terrible thing for your fans to be talking about when you're still in April.   Former Royals Eric Hosmer and Alcides Escobar are hot at the San Francisco Giants for not following the "unwritten" rules of baseball.  I love both these players but they are wrong on this one.    And the 49ers now say it will take two first round draft picks if somebody wants to acquire receiver Deebo Samuel.

Things went south for the Nats right from the start on Sunday as they lost 12-3, sealing a sweep at the hands of San Francisco.  Lucius Fox vomited next to the pitchers mound after the second pitch of the game, just before Joc Pederson hit a lead-off HR off of Joan Adon. This entire paragraph actually happened.(08:36) Mark tells Al the latest on Josh Bell who did not play Sunday, but Davey Martinez says the MRI on his hamstring "came back pretty clean".  Bell not playing mixed with Fox's quick exit led to Riley Adam getting time at first base.(15:05) Alcides Escobar's struggles continued and it feels like it might be time to call Luis Garcia back up.  Is it time to remove Escobar from the lineup and make room for younger players?(23:13) It was another day that the starting pitcher struggled for Washington. Josh Rogers appeared out of the bullpen and the hosts set the table for where the rotation currently stands.  Will Patrick Corbin make his next start?  What's up with Anibal Sanchez's neck?(31:04) A listener email critical of Mike Rizzo and his recent track record.  What say you?

The Nats lost 5-2 to the Giants on Saturday afternoon.  Al is solo hosting for the first time this season and opens with the news that Josh Bell exited the game early due to right hamstring tightness.  This leads to a conversation about the scuffling offense, including the numbers for Alcides Escobar.(06:40) Cesar Hernandez was dropped from the lead-off spot down to the sixth in the order as Lane Thomas took over the top spot. Riley Adams got the start and homered in the afternoon and is surprisingly only the 5th National to homer so far this season.(12:55) Al discusses what he saw from Aaron Sanchez in his first Major League start of the season as he came  short of tossing five innings.  Will we see him make another start?(19:32) It was another impressive day for the bullpen as five relievers combined for only one run allowed in almost five frames. How confident can we be this continue?

The Nats lost 7-1 to the visiting Giants as Patrick Corbin couldn't even made it through two innings. Mark & Al discuss another bad start by the lefty, this time marked by the home crowd booing him. Will he remain in the rotation? His ERA after four starts is at a shocking 11.20.(16:16) The top of the 9th had unexpected fireworks as Alcides Escobar voiced his displeasure with how the Giants were running the bases despite leading by six runs. Where do you stand on this particular unwritten rule?(25:33) The Nationals bullpen threw over 7 scoreless frames, including Erasmo Ramirez tossing 3.1 IP. This is the second straight day that the non "A" 'pen did a flawless job relieving a struggling starter. However, why the curious handling of Paolo Espino?(31:05) Quick update on the status of both Stephen Strasburg and Joe Ross.(36:22) Josh Whetzel, the Voice of the Rochester Red Wings, gives the latest on the Nationals AAA Affiliate.  Hear about Luis Garcia, Cade Cavalli, and Aaron Sanchez (who is starting Saturday for Washington on the mound).

The Nats won the rubber match in Atlanta 3-1 for their third victory in the past four days. Mark (live from Truist Park) and Al open the discussion with praise for Josiah Gray, who tossed five scoreless innings. What was working for Gray in the outing?(10:46) The top bullpen arms then stepped up for the final twelve outs to give Gray his first W of the season (Finnegan,  Doolittle, Cishek , and Rainey). Do the Nationals actually have themselves a solid back-end of the 'pen?(17:24) The offense jumped out on Max Fried with two runs for a lead they wouldn't relinquish.  Maikel Franco had two more hits and Josh Bell extended his hitting streak to seven games.  However, Alcides Escobar has already struck out nine times, which makes us wonder if the team might soon explore other options at SS.(28:33) We read a listener submitted email about Patrick Corbin and any potential fixes Jim Hickey can provide? Plus, email us in a voice memo recalling your first ever baseball game to natschatpodcast@gmail.com.

The Nats lost 10-5 in Colorado in their final road game of the season. Al & Mark assess where the rotation stands as Paolo Espino's outing was cut short due to the two hour rain delay  that began in the top of the 3rd. Will he get the nod for Sunday's finale vs. Boston as Patrick Corbin season is over?(17:55) Juan banged his knee into the chain link outfield fence while making an excellent catch.  He stayed in the game and we have been told he is OK.  At the plate, he had a RBI infield single and a walk (1 for 4).  If the game had been called during the rain delay, his single would not have counted.  Why not sit him after running into the fence?(25:21) Alcides Escobar made one of the pretties defensive plays of the season just after making a throwing error.  Hear what the hosts have to say about his jump throw across the diamond.(27:57) Listener submitted question about how will the Nationals fix the pitching for next season.  Will it all be internal or will they spend money in free agency?(34:30) Cade Cavalli's final start in Rochester did not even last an inning.  His numbers in AAA were not nearly as good as his previous stints.  What's a realistic expectation for when he will be promoted to Washington?

ll eyes are are on a quality group of starting pitchers: the A's Sonny Gray, the Pirates' Gerrit Cole and the Tigers' Justin Verlander. Earlier reports said Verlander could hit the trade market in the coming weeks. In order for that to happen, Verlander must waive his 10-and-5 rights. The Cubs and Tigers have been engaging in talks, according to reports, but the Cubs seemingly are not willing to take on Verlander's contract. The Cubs and White Sox made for strange bedfellows on July 13, culminating in a trade that sent highly sought-after left-hander Jose Quintana to the North Side. The White Sox received a king's ransom in the deal, further bolstering their farm system. On the opposite side of the spectrum, what will the Royals do? With some key players — Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Lorenzo Cain and Alcides Escobar — eyeing free agency after the season, could the 2015 World Series champs blow it all up and go back to Square 1?

In our Hint & Run segment, I give insight on shoulder and elbow exercises using elastic tubing and lightweight dumbbells.  Coach Joe talks about using weighted baseballs as well. I also talk about my experiences using long toss before and after a pitching outing in college.
