Crown Talk | A Kansas City Royals Podcast

The Royals are rolling — and in this episode of Crown Talk, Jared and Kevin break down Kansas City's dominant road trip with series wins over the Rays and Orioles. From Noah Cameron's no-hit debut and Vinny Pasquantino heating up, to a historic seven-homer day capped by a Luke Maile bomb, the guys dive deep into what’s clicking offensively and how the bullpen has quietly become elite. They also talk roster moves, Taylor Clarke’s return, and why Kris Bubic and Bobby Witt Jr. earned their player/pitcher of the month nods. Plus, they spotlight standouts across the Royals' farm system, including Jac Caglianone, Peyton Wilson, Ben Kudrna, and Danny Vasquez.
