After extending the contract of manager Matt Quatraro over the weekend, the Royals have avoided the less than ideal situation of him walking after 2026.

The Kansas City Royals still have plenty of needs to address this offseason and they can do so by adding a variety of names across a variety of skill levels.

The Royals made a significant franchise decision on Sunday, sticking to their instincts and extending manager Matt Quatraro to a three-year contract extension.

The Kansas City Royals still haven't landed a big power bat. But KC fans anxious for another big hitter should remember how long they waited five years ago.

After the Athletics signed Tyler Soderstrom to long-term extension, perhaps the Royals need to follow their lead and continue locking up their talented core.

The Royals could stand to further bolster their bench depth for the 2026 season and perhaps a recently made available familiar face could help achieve that.

The Royals still could use more help in their outfield ahead of the 2026 season, but a trade for Nick Castellanos seems to make much less sense now for KC.

The Kansas City Royals recently reunited with an All-Star reliever. His first stint with the club ended with one of the worst trades in franchise history.

The White Sox continue to be linked to top NPB talent after landing Munetaka Murakami. If they land Tatsuya Imai, it could spell more trouble for the Royals.

Among the Royals smaller scale needs that they can't afford to forget about this winter is their vacant third catcher's role. Who might fill that spot in 2026?
