MLB Offseason Madness January 2026: Big Trades, Signings, Arbitration Drama, HOF News & Shocking Injuries! The 2026 MLB hot stove is on fire! We're breaking down the latest moves shaking up rosters: relievers landing new homes with Ryne Stanek signing with the Cardinals (post-Arenado trade), Tyler Kinley re-upping with the Braves, and Pierce Johnson joining the Reds. Left-hander Ranger Suárez cashes in big with the Boston Red Sox on a 5-year/$130M deal to anchor their rotation. Nolan Arenado gets a fresh start traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks (Cards eating most salary). In a wild three-team swap (Rays, Angels, Reds), Josh Lowe heads to Anaheim, Gavin Lux lands in Tampa, and Cincinnati gets bullpen help. The Yankees add rotation depth snagging Ryan Weathers from the Marlins. Plus: Tarik Skubal's massive arbitration gap ($32M vs. $19M filed) could lead to trade rumors. Hall of Fame Class of 2026 announcement incoming—will big names make it? Retired ace Clayton Kershaw commits to Team USA for the WBC and eyes a role as NBC Sunday Night Baseball studio analyst. Shocking news: Max Kepler hit with an 80-game suspension. Closer Ryan Pressly retires and joins the Twins front office alongside Michael A. Taylor. Royals boost offense by moving power alley fences in 10ft and lowering wall height at Kauffman Stadium. And a tough blow: Braves SS Ha Seong Kim tears finger tendon falling on ice in Korea—out 4-5 months post-surgery. We analyze impacts, winners/losers, fantasy implications, and what it means for 2026 contenders!

This week on Drop the Ball in partnership with Farm to Fountains, we chat the Royals bringing in the fences at Kauffman Stadium. Along with the International signing class the Royals have for 2026, there's a couple good gets by the boys in blue. We also discuss what trade partners are left for the Royals as we think they're not going to make the "big move" this offseason. Cags and Jonathan India have very big seasons for the Royals this year, and we need to take as much pressure off Jac as possible. We end it with a message from Matt: DON'T SETTLE or you will be in the same spot that you were in 2025. And of course we end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!

The guys give their divisional round picks before breaking down the college football national championship and changes to Kauffman Stadium. 

Episode 131 of Tablesetters is a reaction pod focused on a pivotal stretch of the offseason, as a major pitching commitment in Boston, a franchise-defining signing in Chicago, a stalled superstar market, and a rare ballpark adjustment collectively show how teams are adapting to risk, scarcity, and roster timing heading into 2026. We open in Boston, where the Red Sox are set to sign left-handed pitcher Ranger Suárez to a five-year, $130 million contract with no deferrals, no opt-outs, and no no-trade protection. The deal represents the largest free-agent commitment of Craig Breslow's tenure and a clear pivot back toward rotation strength after Boston stalled in its pursuit of an infield upgrade. Suárez joins a rotation led by Garrett Crochet and recently bolstered by Sonny Gray and Johan Oviedo, signaling a belief in run prevention, depth, and managed workloads over chasing innings volume. From there, we shift to Chicago, where the Cubs make the biggest offensive splash of their offseason by signing Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million deal with significant deferrals. We break down why this move reshapes the Cubs' lineup, how it reflects a philosophical shift from the Ricketts family, and what Bregman's arrival means for the infield picture alongside Dansby Swanson, Nico Hoerner, and Matt Shaw as Chicago pushes firmly into a win-now posture. Next, we zoom out to the top of the free-agent market, where Kyle Tucker remains unsigned. We discuss reports that the Mets have offered a short-term deal with a $50 million average annual value, while the Blue Jays have made a long-term offer, highlighting the growing divide between extreme AAV flexibility and traditional long-term guarantees — and why Tucker's decision could reshape the rest of the offseason. We close in Kansas City, where the Royals announce changes to the outfield dimensions at Kauffman Stadium, moving in the fences in both corners and the alleys while lowering wall height. We explore why this calculated adjustment is aimed at boosting offense without compromising pitching, how it aligns with the Royals' left-handed core, and what it says about teams looking for marginal gains beyond the roster itself. Steve and Devin connect the dots between market behavior, roster construction, financial flexibility, and environment, focusing on how these moves reflect a league increasingly split between certainty, creativity, and controlled risk. ⚾️ One week, four signals, and a clearer picture of how contenders are being built.

Kansas City based songwriter Amy Ward responded to a call to action to submit a proposed theme song to celebrate the 15th anniversary for my Tasty Brew Music Radio Show.  Although, like Tica Felise from our last Tasty Brew Music Podcast episode, I did not ultimately choose Amy's submission, I thought her offering compelling enough to want to know more about her music. I brought her into the radio station one Saturday Morning asI hosted the women-centric program “Siren Song.” As you will learn in this conversation, Ward often prepares songs for Sync Licensing, achieving hundreds of song placements on prime TV, Day Time TV, Major Motion Pictures and Independent Films.   She has performed at renowned venues like Madison Square Garden, Kauffman Stadium and T-Mobile Center, as well as recognition on Fox 25 Boston and ABC's KMBC KansasCity. In films and television, she contributes as a songwriter, singer, and producer, including placement on Netflix progamming, and tv programs like Say Yes to the Dress, NCIS, General Hospital, Young & the Restless,  toname a few.On the horizon, Amy lands two songs in the upcoming film,Viral - directed by Blair Underwood and her first song in an animated film , A Tooth Fairy Tale-in theaters and streaming  now.  Enjoy this conversation with music samplings from the AmyWard catalogue!Photo Credit: Hilary Fuller

   As we close in on five years of KKHI I can honestly say I've never seen a reaction from listeners like the past week. Everyone is upset and motivated after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and we all want to do something. It's inspiring for sure.  It's been mostly good news of people on the left losing their jobs after saying horrible things about this tragedy.   But KU is standing by the employee that referred to Kirk as "worm food."  This can't stand.  Let's get busy and call 785.864.2700 or email publicaffairs@ku.edu and let them know how you feel.      Mizzou and Starbucks get it right by having the exact same policy.  We should consider it a win and not complain about it.    Media reports indicate Xavier Worthy is likely to play Sunday night in NY against the Giants.  If he does, it appears he will be playing with a torn labrum.    It was a record night at Kauffman Stadium for Seattle's "Big Dumper."   He broke a record set by Mickey Mantle.  KC's Carter Jensen also had a huge night and this sure bodes well for the future.    A single cocktail at the US Open made them enough money to pay the first place prizes for the men's and women's singles champs.  Wait until you hear how much one drink made.  And our Final Final is a celebrity that truly needs help with his TDS.

Steve & Ted in the Morning: 9/17/25 Complete Show - It is a Wednesday and this morning we break down what happened at City Hall, Kauffman Stadium, and across the country yesterday.

Connor and Producer Josh are live from The K ahead of Nebraska's season opener next door at Arrowhead Stadium!

Our next stop on the road brings us to Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. We had the honor of interviewing one of the one of the greatest groundskeepers of all time, Trevor Vance, the Head Groundskeeper of the Kansas City Royals. An incredible conversation of how sports field management has changed from the early years to today, while diving into his passion of coaching baseball and how it ties into his success as a professional. Also, just one of the most authentic people you will ever talk to! You do not want to miss this one!

Hour 1 – The Drive opened the show discussing the news that the North Kansas City is emerging as a potential site for the new Kauffman Stadium.

Steven St. John and Todd Leabo delved into the Kansas City Royals' ongoing struggles and provided their insights on the future of Arrowhead Stadium and Kauffman Stadium.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steven St. John and Todd Leabo go over the latest with the Chiefs with insider Pete Sweeney. They also discuss Kansas City's stadium talks with Senator Kurtis Gregory. The conversation focused on the future of both Arrowhead and Kauffman Stadium, particularly the ongoing debate about potentially relocating themSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

   The Royals just lost a homestand.  Every game.  All very similar as the bats are so silent you can hear yourself breath inside Kauffman Stadium.  Is this the end of the 2025 season?  Should the Royals be thinking about trading away players to build a better team down the road?  Well, somehow they are still only 3 games back of a playoff spot so we think they'll be hanging on a few more weeks.  But, man, its ugly.    The US Open Golf Championship at Oakmont in Pennsylvania was a hot mess from start to finish but what a little known journeyman named JJ Spaun did on the 72nd hole is the stuff of legend.    A guest columnist pens a nice piece in support of NKC being the best location for a new Royals Stadium.  KU Athletic Director Travis Goff says KU will spend more of it's salary cap money for Bill Self's basketball team than almost any other school.    Army 250 and No Kings Day made headlines this weekend.  One was a celebration of American Greatness, the other a collection of misfits bitching about Trump being a King.  And No Kings Day was plenty peaceful in KC but deadly in Utah and Minnesota.    Pope Leo appeared on the Jumbotron at White Sox park for a special mass this weekend.  Rand Paul may be on board with the Big Beautiful Bill and Fenway Park workers may go on strike.

On May 27, 2025, the Cincinnati Reds secured a commanding 7-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, clinching the series and showcasing their offensive and pitching prowess. The game, part of a three-game set, saw the Reds improve to 28-28, while the Royals dropped to 29-26. The standout performance came from shortstop Elly De La Cruz, whose two towering home runs electrified the crowd and powered the Reds' offense. De La Cruz's bombs, described as “massive” by MLB's official account, were pivotal in building a lead that Kansas City couldn't overcome. Brady Singer, facing his former team, delivered a masterful performance on the mound for Cincinnati. The right-hander pitched seven strong innings, allowing just two runs while scattering hits and keeping the Royals' bats quiet. Singer's command was evident as he navigated a lineup that has struggled offensively, with Kansas City ranking 13th in the American League with a .664 team OPS. His ability to settle down after a shaky start and pitch into the seventh inning was lauded by fans and analysts alike, with posts on X noting his “great job” and efficiency. The Reds' offense complemented Singer's gem with timely hitting. TJ Friedl reached base four times, including a bunt single, while Santiago Espinal chipped in with two hits. The team's aggressive approach at the plate capitalized on Royals pitcher Daniel Lynch IV, who was making only his second start of the season after transitioning from the bullpen. Cincinnati's early scoring set the tone, and De La Cruz's homers in the middle innings put the game out of reach. Defensively, the Reds were sharp, with manager Terry Francona's strategic decisions paying dividends. Ian Gibaut closed out the game, securing the five-run lead. The victory was celebrated across Reds' fanbase, with outlets like FOX19 and RedsDaily4 highlighting the team's balanced attack and Hunter Greene's upcoming start for a potential sweep on May 28. Despite injuries to key players like Jake Fraley and Jeimer Candelario, the Reds showed resilience, leveraging their young talent and veteran leadership. This win underscored their potential in a competitive NL Central, setting the stage for a critical series finale.

The Cincinnati Reds faced the Chicago Cubs in a thrilling three-game weekend series at Great American Ball Park, concluding on May 25, 2025. The Cubs, leading the NL Central, dominated the series, winning two of three games, showcasing their offensive prowess and late-inning resilience. The Reds, fighting to stay competitive in the division, struggled to contain Chicago's bats but salvaged a win against the Kansas City Royals on Monday, May 26, 2025, boosting their momentum. On Friday, May 23, the Cubs opened the series with a 13-6 rout. Chicago's lineup erupted, capitalizing on Cincinnati's pitching struggles. Seiya Suzuki, a standout all weekend, went 7-for-12 in the series, setting the tone early. The Reds' offense, led by Austin Hays' two hits and three RBIs, couldn't keep pace, as Chicago's 29-7 record when recording eight or more hits proved too much. Saturday's game saw the Cubs edge out a victory, with their pitching staff, led by Colin Rea (3-0, 2.38 ERA), holding firm despite a late Reds push, fueled by Elly De La Cruz's .241 average and 33 RBIs. Sunday's finale was a rollercoaster. The Reds led 8-4, but the Cubs mounted a comeback, scoring seven runs in the final four innings. Seiya Suzuki's go-ahead three-run homer and Reese McGuire's historic two-homer debut off the bench powered an 11-8 Cubs victory. Nico Hoerner and Pete Crow-Armstrong each drove in two runs, while Drew Pomeranz earned the win with a scoreless inning. The Reds' bullpen, notably Taylor Rogers (1-2), faltered, dropping Cincinnati to 25-27 and third in the NL Central, while the Cubs solidified their 31-20 division lead. Following the series loss, the Reds rebounded on Monday against the Kansas City Royals, winning 7-4 at Kauffman Stadium. Nick Martinez (2-5, 3.43 ERA) delivered seven strong innings, and Tyler Stephenson's homer sparked the offense. The Reds' 17-5 record when scoring five or more runs held true, as they capitalized on early opportunities and held off a late Royals rally. This victory, highlighted by posts on X, pushed Cincinnati's record to 26-27, offering hope as they navigate a critical stretch of division games, including upcoming matchups against the Cubs and Milwaukee.

Big reason is the offense only scored four runs. Where did the hitting go from the previous series against Houston? What's with the roster management picking Nick Maton to replace the injured Andrew Benintendi? [12:31] Andrew Vaughn committed an almost identical TOOTBLAN against the Royals as he did in Sacramento a couple of weeks ago.

   We begin with something I had no clue about and we're curious if you knew.   Last night was the biggest night of the year for birds migrating over Kansas and Missouri and the number will shock you!    A trip to the waiting parking lot to pick up my wife yesterday at KCI left me feeling uneasy about our airport.      That lottery winner that got arrested in Florida gets another plot twist as he violated his parole... and... wait for it: His girlfriend got into a fight too.  This just gets stranger.    Trump's scoring one win after another and announces he's building a fancy ballroom at the White House.  Don't worry... he's paying for it.  I think I know why.    The Royals toss their 5th shutout in the last 10 games... pretty hard to lose when the other guys don't score.  They also did something really nice before the game.    Bill Self has an opportunity to change a few things this year with one hire and a pitcher at Kauffman Stadium last night has an amazing story to find his way to the mound.

The Kansas City Royals are coming off their best season in almost a decade after winning a playoff series in 2024. In a live broadcast from Kauffman Stadium, KCUR's Up To Date spoke with Royals owner John Sherman, general manager J.J. Picollo and more about the upcoming season and stadium negotiations.

   If you were somebody's boss and they went on tv and trashed your decisions, what would you do?  Well, whatever you would do is not going to happen at MSNBC where Rachel Maddow just unloaded on the network for cutting costs and employees.    Elon Musk says a small number of government employees responded to their email request to share what they did last week.  Now he says, at the President's discretion, everyone gets a second chance to send anything in to their supervisor or they will be fired.    A married couple in KCK got arrested at the same time Monday in different locations.  We'll tell you what they did in January to deserve it.    Polls show Americans are no longer divided.  I will give you 12 Trump initiatives currently taking place that as many as 83% of us are all in favor of.    Hunter Dickinson is the player KU fans love to hate... but he's still their best player by far.  And he proved in Monday night in a win over Colorado.   Mizzou has a chance to win its last four starting tonight.  Cole Ragans is already throwing 98 mph and we remember our walkout at Kauffman Stadium in 1999 after the passing of the announcer that bashed us KC fans that night

Kansas City Royals legend Alex Gordon joins Eric Hosmer & Mike Moustakas in the 1st edition of Diggin' At Home!Gordo takes us back to his baseball roots in Nebraska, playing for the Cornhuskers, and becoming the 2nd overall pick in the 2005 MLB Draft. He shares what it was like coming up as a young player in the Royals organization and overcoming hard times early in his career. Gordo also takes us behind scenes of the conversations he had with Dayton Moore early on about transitioning from 3rd base to the outfield, a move that would lead to him winning 8x Gold Gloves, and at the time made room for a young Moose to fill that spot. The guys discuss the current state of the Royals and why the future is so bright with a guy like Bobby Witt Jr. in the clubhouse. As an assistant coach, Gordo breaks down what he saw from this past season and why he's excited about what's to come in KC. Of course the guys had to take a trip down memory and talk about the glory days in Kansas City. Gordo delivers a break down of his Game 7 hit that he almost made it home on - should he have been sent home? He also gives us a comprehensive break down of his iconic home run against Jeurys Familia. Gordo shares how studying Familia's quick pitch to Salvador Perez changed his approach at the plate, leading to the game-tying home run that sent Kauffman Stadium into a frenzy. From his MLB debut against Curt Schilling to meeting George Brett as a rookie, Gordo provides an amazing look at his remarkable MLB journey.-----------------GuestAlex Gordon /⁠ @alex.gordon.4⁠⁠HostsEric Hosmer /⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @hosmer305⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mike Moustakas / ⁠@moosetacos8⁠Interact with the Diggin' Deep Crew on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Advertising & Partnership inquiries: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠diggindeep@moonballmedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠a⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MoonBall Media⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcast

After struggling in the first two games, the Giancarlo Stanton stepped up and helped his New York secure a 3-2 win in Game 3 against the Royals on Wednesday at Kauffman Stadium.

   A new study of people in 34 countries shows those nations overwhelmingly support Biden over Trump.  The reason is simple, they know who's handing them cash and caving into the One World philosophy and they benefit from America.  This should be THE reason any undecided voter should swing to Trump.   It's the summer of interruption as a bunch of climate freaks charge the field at the Congressional game in DC.  Are they going to get prosecuted like the J6 folks?    A survey of users proves that more people gather news on X than they do on other social platforms.  And in a complete 180 degree turn from just a couple years ago, Democrats are more likely to say the platform is inaccurate or unfair.  That was fast.    We went to the Royals game Wednesday and KC was awful.  Your humble host lost his debit card for about an hour and you won't believe how incredible the staff was at Kauffman Stadium to help me find it.   Luka Doncic is a huge star for the Dallas Mavericks but as his team is down 3-0 in the Finals, he's been blamed for all of it.  You have to hear this cut from ESPN.    And Spags is the star of Chiefs mandatory mini camp as he tosses cold water on his defensive players to sober them up about the reality of what is ahead.  This is awesome.
