Royals.
The nightly market record for Kansas City.
Regular season is live. This page is a preview of the year-round offseason desk — the roster snapshot is real, but the move-tracking, futures-movement and projected-lineup sections are dormant until the season ends and those data sources wire up. The active surface today is the club desk.

Roster moves · trades · free-agent activity.
Tracking trades, free-agent signings, non-tenders, and 40-man moves needs a dedicated source (MLB Trade Rumors RSS, MLB Transactions API, or editorial entry). Surface goes live the first time data lands.
Projected lineup · rotation outlook.
Lineup + rotation projections need a depth-chart source or a per-team editorial entry. The MlbBatter graph carries position-agnostic stats; turning that into a 1-9 + bench + rotation card requires position metadata the schema doesn't carry yet.
Win total · division · World Series.
Win-total, division, and championship futures move on different cadence than player props and require a different odds feed. The almanac currently sources player props via ParlayAPI + the-odds-api H2H — futures would slot alongside, with snapshot rows mirroring MlbLineSnapshot but typed to a futures market.
Camp battles · prospect progress.
Spring training battles (5th starter, bench spots, prospect debuts) are an editorial product — too low-frequency for a model, too high-judgment for an automatic feed. Plans for a per-team weekly note from the editor once the offseason calendar starts producing real signal.
