Can Royals’ moves fuel deeper postseason run? Plus Chiefs in free agency, NCAAs: Podcast
Hope springs eternal for the Royals as opening day approaches.
The boys in blue enter the 2025 season with confidence after making their first playoff appearance in a decade last fall. The Royals seem to have bolstered their lineup and bullpen while maintaining their solid starting rotation.
In this installment of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s weekly sports podcast, columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian address expectations for manager Matt Quatraro’s team and what to make of the club’s late-spring training roster moves.
Then Star beat witer Jesse Newell joins the conversation and we discuss the Chiefs. After reaching another Super Bowl but falling short of the championship, KC’s NFL team has been active in free agency.
We also talk a little college basketball after sooner-than-expected losses by the Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers in the NCAA Tournament. Only the Kansas State women are dancing on, having reached the Sweet 16 for the first time in two decades.
How did the postseason end so abruptly for Mizzou and KU?
