MLB typically announces the all-star starters on Monday. They're definitely trying to promote this.

6. Royals — Hagen Smith, LHP, Arkansas I’ve oscillated between Hagen Smith and Bryce Rainer for the Royals in my last few mocks, but I’m going back to the college lefthander. Scouting director Brian Bridges aggressively targeted pitchers in his previous tenure with the Braves, and there’s a thought that the Royals as an organization value lefthanded pitching as much as anyone. If Caglianone is available here, it’s difficult to see him getting beyond this pick. If both Caglianone and Smith are off the board—a scenario that seems unlikely to me—I would lean toward Rainer. This also could be another landing spot for Wetherholt if he is available, though I’m guessing all the other players I’ve mentioned would be ahead of him. |

McDaniel thinks the Royals could use Burns like they did with Finnegan as a bullpen arm this year.

Spoiler!
So here's hoping one of the holders of a winning streak in GDTs can start the GDT for an important weekend of Royals baseball vs the Red Sox, currently 1 game ahead of us for the last wild card spot. And it would be a great way to go into the ASB, winning the series on the road. Game time 6:10 p.m. |

Ive said this several times, but God damn do I hate the ****ing draft lottery. It's very easy to see who the worst teams are in MLB and the Royals were legit a bottom 2 team in the league last year and were awful the year before too. They got absolutely ****ed by the lottery.
Last year we should have had a top 5 pick and should have gotten Walker Jenkins who is the #5 ranked prospect in all of baseball. This year we should have had the #2 pick and we'd have a shot at a legit difference maker. **** the lottery |

The crazy part about last year's top five is all five of those picks would have been picked ahead of all the players in the 2024 draft. That's shitty the Royals couldn't have landed one of those guys. But I will say this, I feel like there's a major drop off after the first top 10 picks this year, so it's good to for the Royals to be at 6. It's also one of those drafts where so many top 40 prospects have noticeable flaws and any team picking on the first day could eventually wind up with one of the top players. |
