This week, the guys discuss the two top 100 prospects by Baseball America in our system, and how there's one on the outside looking in. Kendry Chourio and David Shields are set to be household names in prospect circles. Deep dive on Salvy's playing time, and what we should expect in 2026. We're in one year deal territory now, as we look to who could help this squad off the bench, since that big bat is seemingly not coming. Matt once again pleads that we cannot rely on Jac Caglianone and Carter Jensen only in 2026. It's playoffs or bust and it seems you're running back with the same squad. We chat Carlos Beltran going to the Hall of Fame, and then end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!
Major League Baseball teams love consistency in a player. At the same time they are always happy to discuss a player's “ceiling”. So which of the 2026 Royals have the biggest distance between their ceiling and floor and thereby will have the biggest effect on the Royals chances?David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky), Les Norman (Former Royals OF/Author - Teaching the Tools of Hitting) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) are selecting the players that can have the biggest impact on the Royals success or failure in 2026.- Which Hitter has the biggest distance between ceiling and floor?- Does moving the fences in change the list?- Where does Jac Caglianone fit into the equation?- Is there still upside with Salvy?- Can the Royals expect the same number from Carter Jensen?- Is Bobby Witt Jr. too good to make this list?- What Hitter is the most consistent and reliable?- What did we learn from making the lists?
No, we don't mean us, we mean the PWHL, where Patti crosstrained with their “Takeover Tour” and helped set an attendance record for US women's hockey this weekend. Our bfs this week, from Kansas City and San Francisco, are all all young guys doing good in the world and on the field. Pottymouth picks a guy who finds a way to make lack of a second language work for him, and one leaning in to the goofy. Patti goes with a collegiate Ohtani and a lightning bolt. The hot stove claims some bats, adding fuel to the salary cap fire. An unsigned free agent gets suspended – but from what? Rosters for the World Baseball Classic gain some and lose some. Venezuela is really, really hosting an important tournament. Kansas City moves some outfield walls to be more average. And we learn about Tupac's love of libraries. Or at least one in Baltimore. Philanthropies mentioned on today's show include: Micah Pietila-Wiggs ”LLM” Foundation, Food4kids Florida, Bat Flips for Kids.We say, “He tore a tendon in his right middle finger – for me that would be a major injury,” “Of course, Vegas was not a good place for Tupac,” and, "There's gonna be some color-coding and maybe some Google Sheets.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

Are the Royals done making moves this offseason, and if they are, what does that mean for the team?

*THIS EPISODE IS A MASHUP OF THE ROYALS SEGMENTS FROM THE FULL EPISODES THE LAST TWO WEEKS*Included in the mashup is: our discussion on how Matt Strahm impacts this bullpen, and how it's looking like the arm barn might be one of the best in baseball in 2026. We hear the arms that are on the market for the Royals, the depth that they need to cover, and how they'll handle the 2B position. We of course discuss who that "big bat" is going to be for this team in 2026, as they haven't made the move yet. Maybe they look to other options moving forward? Look to make the move for the bat at the deadline. We end it with a discussion on Carter Jensen and Jac Caglianone, and how they could be part of the spark-plug they're looking for.

Jac Caglianone gets his first big league home run on a pitch so high its impossible to see how he got it out. Then, he pured one for a second home run and may still be searching for the ball. The Royals get a sweep and suddenly seem back in the middle of things. Crazy. Sophie Cunningham became the second biggest star in the WNBA this week as her jersey is now sold out and she's got about a million new followers on social. Her game plan is a good one and you're going to be seeing a lot of her. A lot. Game 7 is set in the NBA Finals for Sunday night, the first in a decade. The Dodgers are total frauds attacking Customs and Border Patrol with a social media hoax. Michelle Obama blasts Barack without knowing it. The former prez, meanwhile, wants the government to regulate free speech. How communist of him. And our Song of the Week could possibly be a repeat but I don't care.

On this week's episode of The Game Within, we open with the tragic passing of John Brenkus and what it's reignited about men's mental health in sports. Then we turn to the Royals' top prospect Jac Caglianone and how versatility might be the only path to the majors in today's MLB. We break down what an expanded March Madness could mean for TV money and mid-majors, and why Bruce Pearl might be the next coach to swap the sideline for the Senate floor. Plus: Saquon Barkley just had a monster season—so should Eagles fans be worried about the Madden Curse? In our deep dive, we unpack why a Pacers–Thunder NBA Finals might be a nightmare for ratings but a victory for the league's future—and how the new CBA is finally giving small markets a real shot at a title.
