Alex Gordon was at the Chiefs-Texans game. Said Travis Kelce getting fired up on the sidelines reminded him of Mike Moustakas in the dugout during the comeback vs the Astros. Said the Chiefs remind him of the 2014-2015 Royals. “It’s kind of been looking into a mirror.”

Remembering the late Yordano Ventura on this January 22nd day. It’s been 7 years since his passing. What a blessing to spend so much time with a kid who had a personality as big as his 100+mph fastball. Will always miss Ace. #RIP

Danny Duffy beloved in KC for good reason. He’s real. He cares. The ultimate teammate. One of the few players still here who was in the organization when I got here in ‘08. Watched him grow up. Wish him the best. Maybe we will see him back. And of course “It’s a bear suit.”

No trade-in or negotiating for Salvy’s 48th home run ball. A Royals staffer got to it after it landed in a restricted area in front of the batter’s eye. The ball will be authenticated and end up in the hands of its proper owner, Salvador Perez
