| 5/28/25 | Royals Could Nab $24 Million Rays All-Star In Trade Deadline Blockbuster. As the Kansas City Royals' offense continues to flounder, any sign of a potential upgrade via trade is a welcome one.

The Royals might believe Massey will come around, but he's killing them right now.

Massey got in position to make the play but slipped to the ground at the edge of the grass as the ball rolled past him into the outfield. The play was initially ruled an error by official scorer Michael Duca, but moments later he changed his call. In the seventh, Bubic gave up a one-out double to Casey Schmitt.

| 4/15/25 | Yankees phenom passes latest test — but there's more room to grow. With one catch, Jasson Domínguez silenced the many questions about his defensive capabilities that loomed over him entering this season. Effortlessly launching himself in the air and contorting his body, Domínguez nabbed a hard hit ball off the bat of Royals' Michael Massey in the top of the fourth inning of the Yankees' eventual 4-1 win over Kansas City. It was the type of play that would typically give Domínguez trouble — and it wouldn't be the last that he handled masterfully Monday night. It was a busy evening for Domínguez, who recorded the most put outs in one game in his major-league career. Source: https://www.nj.com/yankees/2025/04/yankees-phenom-... |
