The Royals have someone new joining the broadcast team.
On Wednesday, the Kansas City Royals announced that the Royals.TV team had hired a new sideline reporter for the 2026 season.
The new hire, Bridget Howard, is a Kansas City-native and lifelong Royals fan as her dad, David, played with the club in the 1990s, according to MLB.com’s Anne Rogers. Howard attended Blue Valley High School in Kansas City, and attended every home game of the 2014 and 2015 World Series.
Kings of Kauffman’s Caleb Moody speaks
highly on Royals IFA signing that got a nice endorsement.
This isn’t the first time that Gomez has held prestigious prospect status, as he was one the biggest gets in this year’s international free agent class.
However, cracking any organization’s Top 10 is no small feat, and certainly if you’re at the tender age of 17. According to Pipeline’s scouting report on Gomez, there’s no reason to believe that the hype around him recently has been overblown.
“He’s a five-tool player with a ton to dream on if everything clicks,” they wrote.
And judging by how his tools grade in their eyes, that’s no exaggeration. He’s not even voting age and his weakest of the five tools is his hit tool at an average-looking 50 grade. His power grades out at a 55, while his run, arm and field sit at 70, 60 and 60 respectively.

Safe to say, expectations weren’t high for Brett Squires entering Royals Spring Training in Arizona.
Squires wasn’t an official non-roster invitee, meaning that his starting outlook in 2026 would be in the Minor Leagues. A couple of seasons ago, the former University of Oklahoma product seemed to be making the case as a dark horse for a 40-man roster spot.
In High-A Quad Cities in 2024, the undrafted prospect posted a .309/.390/.481 slash with a .401 wOBA and 151 wRC+ in 270 plate appearances. He only had nine home runs, but he likely would’ve surpassed his 15-HR mark in 2023 in Columbia in 122 games had he not gotten injured. Despite the shortened sample, he stole 16 bases and collected 42 RBI.
