Anne Rogers reports the Royals are making changes in their coaching staff.
The Royals will not renew the contracts of assistant hitting coaches Keoni DeRenne and Joe Dillon for 2026, general manager J.J. Picollo told MLB.com on Sunday.
“I want to thank Keoni and Joe for what they’ve done with us, Keoni helping us through a tough 2023 and both of them helping us elevate in ‘24, and still did some nice things this year,” Picollo said. “They’re both really good, tireless workers. They’re going to end
up in a good spot somewhere in the game. They’re both well respected, and we appreciate what they did with us.”
Royals Reporter looks back on his preseason predictions.
I knew the Royals would be active at the Trade Deadline to improve their outfield, and they did that for the most part. They added former Royal Adam Frazier at the All-Star Break from Pittsburgh, and then acquired Randal Grichuk from Arizona and Mike Yastrzemski from San Francisco at the Trade Deadline.
Unfortunately, the one deal I hoped for, Taylor Ward from the Angels, didn’t happen.
Part of that was due to the Angels hovering in playoff contention until the All-Star Break. Considering the team has been playoff-starved since their 2002 World Series title, Angels GM Perry Minasian decided to keep Ward, with the hope they could go on some run in the last two months.
