Royals Review Radio - “The Gotta Go Fast!” Episode

Co-hosts Max Rieper and Shaun Newkirk aren’t nearly fast enough to be on the Royals, but they’re back to discuss the Royals’ off-season so far. In this episode, we cover off-season moves and discuss:

• The signing of Billy Hamilton, Terrance Gore, and Chris Owings and doubling-down on speed
• Rule 5 acquisitions Sam McWilliams and Chris Ellis and losing Elvis Luciano
• Who lands Bryce Harper and Manny Machado?
• What are the Indians up to?
• Is the trade market for second basemen soft?

Here are links to some of the things we talked about:
