Royals' minor leaguer, Tyler Tolbert, did something amazing this year. He had 60 SBs w/o getting caught. I couldnt find out if this was a record for the minors but it could very well be since the MLB record is only 28 (Carlos Beltran in 2004). Tolbert doesnt seem to really be a prospect. He's not listed on the team Top 30 by either BA or MLB. But an amazing feat nonetheless.

Not quite. Beltran was 28-0 for Houston but he was 14-3 for the KC the same year, so his 2004 MLB stats are 42-3.

Still, it's interesting that Beltran was also a Royal. The youngest player with World Series stats is Adalberto Mondesi, age 19 in 2015. He was in the WS before his regular season MLB debut.

Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Royals will hire Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro to be their next manager.

Great hire -- excited to see how Q works with this young roster. I don't know if they've made a pitching coach hire yet, but anything is an upgrade from Cal Eldred

After tonite's start, Jordan Lyles is now 0-9 w a 7.30 ERA. When the O's signed Kyle Gibson, I thought "They let one Jordan Lyles go and signed another one who is both older and more expensive. They should have just kept the one they had". Good thing I'm not the O's GM. Gibson is 6-3 w a 3.82 ERA.
