The Boys in Blue are Back in Surprise! (2026)

The Royals are back in Surprise, so that means one thing: baseball is back soon! Matt and Jackson take a look at a couple battles that are happening in spring, and who we think will take the job. The outfield once again is a topic, as we look to opening day, is Jac Caglianone in the starting lineup? Is Kyle Isbel really safe in center? Pecota projections like the Royals for the first time...ever? Some pitching injuries around the league make us speculate whether Kris Bubic will be moved, and how he did NOT look happy coming into camp after an offseason of rumors with his name. We end it with some Royals trivia, as Jackson gives in. And of course, we end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!
