9/03/25	Royals Writer Confirms Trading Backup Catcher Was The Right Move. The Kansas City Royals were very active at the trade deadline last month, adding some very important pieces to boost their offense. Mike Yastrzemski, Randal Grichuk and Adam Frazier were brought on board by July 31. Fermin got off to a hot start with the Padres but has since cooled down, and the Padres have essentially learned a lesson that the Royals knew all too well about the backup catcher.

8/20/25	Royals' Trade Deadline Pickup Accomplishes Feat Only Matched By Rickey Henderson. The Kansas City Royals are rolling, and it's due in large part to the new tone that's been set at the top of their lineup. Outfielder Mike Yastrzemski, who arrived in a July 31 trade with the San Francisco Giants, has been batting leadoff for the Royals against right-handed pitchers. In his first 15 games with the Royals, Yastrzemski led off the contest with a home run three times. When you're a leadoff hitter for a Major League Baseball team, the name Rickey Henderson is one you always want to be mentioned alongside.

8/18/25	Royals Should Target Tigers All-Star To Bolster Offense For 2026. The Kansas City Royals may be coming alive at just the right time. While they are still four games back of the defending American League champion New York Yankees in the Wild Card race, they are now 63-61 and have won seven of their last 10 games. At the trade deadline, they made a few key moves to bolster their offense, adding veterans Mike Yastrzemski, Adam Frazier and Randal Grichuk.

8/13/25	Giants' Bob Melvin did not hide frustration after 5-1 loss to Padres. It's safe to say that things have not gone well for the San Francisco Giants over the last few weeks. After the Giants traded outfielder Mike Yastrzemski and relief pitcher Camilo Doval at the deadline, it essentially signaled an end to any sort of playoff push this year. Since the deadline, the Giants have a 5-6 record, and while that isn't horrible, the last few games have been frustrating for San Francisco. The Giants dropped two in a row to the Washington Nationals at home over the weekend, including an 8-0 loss on Sunday, where they recorded just three hits.

8/12/25	Did Royals' Mike Yastrzemski Just Hint At Return To Giants In Free Agency?. For a Major League Baseball player, there's often nothing that can compare to your first love. Players develop special attachments to the organizations they debuted with, and that can be said for Kansas City Royals outfielder Mike Yastrzemski. It's been only two weeks since the 34-year-old arrived in KC partway through his seventh big-league season; previously, he'd only ever played for the San Francisco Giants. Yastrzemski recently praised Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey for how he handled the trade. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/royals/news/did-royals-mike...
8/11/25	SF Giants' matchup with Padres features teams trending in opposite directions. The Giants have hardly played like sellers since the dust settled from last week's frantic wheeling and dealing, winning back-to-back series on the road and five of nine games overall since the trade deadline. In one of those ways that baseball can be cruel sometimes, had they strung together the same stretch a week earlier — against two of the same foes, no less — Mike Yastrzemski, Tyler Rogers and Camilo Doval might still be wearing orange and black. Meanwhile, no team was more active than the Padres, who added seven players in five deals. The teams will meet seven times in the next 10 games, beginning Monday at Oracle Park.

8/09/25	Rookies look to make presence felt in Nationals-Giants clash. In a series featuring multiple rookies in each starting lineup, the host San Francisco Giants will pull for Drew Gilbert to get his first major league hit when they go for a second consecutive win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday afternoon. Gilbert went 0-for-4 in his big league debut Friday night as a large contingent of family and friends cheered for him from behind the third base dugout at Oracle Park. The 24-year-old Gilbert, summoned from Triple-A before Friday's contest, became the fourth different right fielder employed by the Giants in seven games since they dealt Mike Yastrzemski to the Kansas City Royals at the trade deadline last week.

8/07/25	Royals' Mike Yastrzemski tops Red Sox legend in 1 key stat. Let's get this out of the way right from the start: No, we are not suggesting Kansas City Royals outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is better than his famous grandfather, Boston Red Sox Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski. Mike Yastrzemski went 4-for-8 during the Royals' three-game series this week at Fenway Park. According to Baseball Reference, Yastrzemski has played nine career games in Boston.

8/06/25	Royals Trade Acquisition 'Fired Up' To Be Wanted In Kansas City. Mike Yastrzemski has the chance to be a hugely impactful piece for the Kansas City Royals. Early in the season, it would have seemed impossible that Yastrzemski could come to Kansas City. The Royals were underperforming, with their outfield absorbing much of the blame, while the veteran's old team, the San Francisco Giants, was excelling. After homering in his first game as a Royal, Yastrzemski has gone just 2-for-10, though both hits were doubles. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/royals/news/royals-trade-ac...

8/04/25	Red Sox Received Big Assist From Upcoming AL Opponent. The Boston Red Sox may thank the Kansas City Royals before beginning a three-game set on Monday. Boston enters the series three games back in the American League East standings. The Red Sox just gained two games on the Toronto Blue Jays with Kansas City's help. While the Red Sox swept the Houston Astros, the Royals took two of three from the Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre. A familiar name helped Boston on Friday night. Mike Yastrzemski, the grandson of Red Sox legend Carl Yastrzemski, went yard in his Royals debut during a 9-3 win. Former Boston pitcher Michael Wacha allowed one run over eight excellent innings.

8/03/25	Mike Yastrzemski trade grade for Royals, Giants. At the 2025 MLB trade deadline, the San Francisco Giants made a move that was both painful and practical, sending longtime outfielder Mike Yastrzemski to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for 21-year-old right-handed pitcher Yunior Marte. While Giants fans may be sad to see the longest-tenured player leave, the front office deserves credit for making a forward-thinking decision — and getting real value in return. Let's be clear: this was not an easy move for the Giants. Yastrzemski has been a fixture in San Francisco since 2019, a grinder who made the most of a late-blooming MLB debut and turned himself into a respected clubhouse leader and fan favorite.
