Royals Camp Report: Caglianone Rising, Estevez Questions

Spring training always brings optimism — and tough questions.

In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco break down the latest developments from Kansas City Royals camp, starting with standout performances from non-roster invitees like Jac Caglianone, who continues to turn heads. The hosts also address early concerns about Carlos Estevez’s velocity, separating real warning signs from normal spring ramp-up patterns.

The conversation shifts to injury updates and the growing buzz around Michael Massey’s impressive spring, as he pushes to solidify his role. Jacob and Jeremy also tackle one of the organization’s biggest debates: Carter Jensen’s future behind the plate, and what his development means for the Royals’ long-term plans. On the pitching side, they evaluate Ben Kudrna’s struggles and discuss why Kendry Chourio’s rising velocity could make him a name to watch.

From roster battles to player development trends, this episode offers grounded analysis and forward-looking insight as the Royals prepare for the World Baseball Classic and Opening Day.
