The Chiefs’ new contract with Derrick Nnadi is for more than we expected

The Chiefs’ new contract with Derrick Nnadi is for more than we expected

Photo by David Eulitt/ In his seventh year with the team, Kansas City is paying the former third-round pick a little more than we thought. On the evening of March 14, news broke that the Kansas City Chiefs were re-signing defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi to a seventh season with the team. It was going to be the third consecutive one-year contract the 27-year-old player Nnadi had signed. Since he played the 2023 season under a veteran salary benefit (VSB) contract that paid him $1.23 million (but occupied just $1.1 million of the team’s cap space), it was widely assumed...

2024 Royals season preview: It’s time to win

Photo by Omar Rawlings/ The Royals want to win on the field and at the ballot box Royals fans have seen their fair share of rebuild movements. Sometimes they pan out, like when they “flipped the switch” in 2011 with Salvador Perez, Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Alcides Escobar, and Lorenzo Cain, the group that went on to win two pennants and a championship. But more often than not, the youth movement has sputtered, prospects failed, people lost their jobs, and fans lost hope. The Royals underwent a youth movement in 2018 when the core of their championship team left...

Royals Rumblings - News for March 27, 2024

Minda Haas Kuhlmann Anne Rogers contributed to this list of one big question facing each MLB team: Royals: Will the bullpen have enough power?The Royals remade their bullpen with strike-throwers who know how to pitch. Will Smith will be their closer to begin the season, but others will get opportunities, including James McArthur. To be clear, all have good stuff, and McArthur sits 94-95 mph with nasty secondary pitches. They all pound the zone and will be reliable in the back end of games. But the Royals are missing a fireballer — somebody who can dominate hitters...

The narrow path to 90 wins

The narrow path to 90 wins

Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports The path to the playoffs is narrow, and it’s unlikely the Royals will find it. Every year, I put the Royals’ schedule into a spreadsheet and follow a simple formula to create a path to a 90-win season: Win or split series at home. Win or split road series against weaker teams. Don’t get swept. I don’t figure in any sweeps and split all four-game and two-game series. What I usually end up with is something like a 50-win home record and a 40-win road record. The same map can be used for different benchmarks. For example, a .500...
