The rumors and whispers are escalating again – likely as no coincidence to the Royals’ disappointing start – that owner David Glass (left) wants to sell the ballclub. That he might even be close to doing so, in fact. “Nonsense,” Glass said. “I’ve never spoken to anyone about selling the club."

Boston’s blasts leave KC rotation singing the blues

By BOB DUTTON, The Kansas City Star | May 8 at 10:55 a.m.

The blues in Kansas City once meant a captivating alternative to its more-renowned jazz. These days, it means a tattered rotation that continues to hamstring the Royals’ efforts to shake their early-season doldrums. Left-hander Jonathan Sanchez offered up the latest example Monday night by failing to record an out in the fourth inning before exiting in an 11-5 loss to the Red Sox at Kauffman Stadium.

Yankees’ Rivera tears his ACL before Royals game

By NICOLE POELL, The Kansas City Star | May 4 at 4:58 p.m.

The Yankees’ loss to the Royals wasn’t the worst part of their night. That came before Thursday’s game, when All-Star closer Mariano Rivera tore a ligament in his right knee while shagging balls near the warning track, ending his season and possibly his career.

Royals conclude trip with 3-2 win over Tigers

By BOB DUTTON, The Kansas City Star | May 2 at 9:20 p.m.
