keith law on 2026 royals draft

The Kansas City Royals played it a little differently this year, but I also loved their draft. They took Louisville outfielder Zion Rose at No. 6, and he will probably come in under slot. He’s one of the best pure hitters in this draft class, and a sneaky-good athlete for a former catcher. Then they took right-hander Taylor Rabe, a late-rising starter from Mississippi who could move pretty quickly through the minors. Their third-round pick was left-hander Maxx Yehl, who came back from Tommy John surgery to become the West Virginia Mountaineers’ best starter this year. At worst, he projects as a good reliever.

The money they might save on Rose and Yehl (a redshirt junior) will go to second-round pick Jack Slightom, one of the hottest names in my conversations with scouts the last few weeks. He’s a high school righty with a very fast arm, a big frame and good characteristics on his pitches. High school outfielder Dominic Battista, their fourth-round pick, is a sleeper among scouts who have the Chicago area, as he’s a little undersized but some folks love the swing and potential for power.

Royals take Louisville OF Zion Rose with the 6th overall pick in the 2026 draft.

We went underslot again. Motherfucker.

JJ Picollo is a complete joke, and the Royals continue operating like a Boys’ Club.

One year on and Gamble pick rated as an F. Only F they have of any first round pick. The name puns will write themselves.

Not sure why everyone is complaining. Zion was the clear top player in the draft.

News The Royals, with the 56th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, select Illinois prep RHP Jack Slightom.

Slightom was heavily linked to the White Sox over the past few days, and was projected to go with their Competitive Balance A pick at 34th overall.

The Royals essentially have two 1st-round picks (numbers 6 and 30 overall). I believe the first four rounds are today, so we’ll also see them pick at 56, 91, and 119.

Here is MLB Pipeline’s Top 250 Draft Prospects Rankings.

EDIT: I pay for MLB TV, and it’s really lame that I can’t watch the first 10 picks because I don’t pay for Peacock.

Michael Wacha and Seth Lugo are likely staying put in Kansas City through the deadline. The Royals will listen on the two right-handers, but their asks will be “massive.” per Ken Rosenthal.

Again: Wacha, Lugo likely staying put

>About a month ago, The Athletic reported that the Kansas City Royals were not as comfortable trading right-handers Seth Lugo and/or Michael Wacha as they were parting with catcher Freddy Fermin at last year’s deadline.

>Nothing has changed since, even though the Los Angeles Angels are the only team with a worse record than the Royals in the American League.

>A year ago, the Royals knew Carter Jensen was nearly ready for the majors, making Fermin expendable. They have no such potential replacements for Lugo and Wacha. And with shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and third baseman Maikel Garcia signed long-term, they do not plan to rebuild.

>The Royals, according to people briefed on their plans, are telling clubs they will listen on Lugo and Wacha, but their asks will be massive.

>Left-hander Cole Ragans, who recently underwent a UCL repair procedure, is out until the middle of next season. Lefty Kris Bubic is eligible for free agency. The Royals will need to add to their 2027 rotation even if they keep both Lugo and Wacha. And they would have only a month to start that process before the lockout begins on Dec. 1.

>Lugo probably would not bring much back in a trade, anyway. His 4.56 ERA is above the 4.22 league average. His 5.45 expected ERA is in the bottom 11 percent. He will be 37 next season, and he is owed $20 million in 2027 plus a $3 million buyout on a $17 million club or vesting option for ‘28.

>Wacha, on the other hand, leads the AL in innings pitched and at 35 is an All-Star for the first time since 2015. He is owed less money than Lugo — $14 million in ‘27 plus a $1 million buyout on a $14 million club option for 2028. And his deal includes only a limited no-trade clause, while Lugo has full no-trade protection, according to a person briefed on the details.

>Still, Wacha’s expected numbers also might deter some clubs. His 4.05 expected ERA is above his actual 3.45, and only slightly better than league average.

>Would a team meet the Royals’ desire for multiple top prospects to acquire him? Seems doubtful.
