Five things you need to know from the Royals-Angels series
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? Sure, its way too early to start talking about big series, but taking two of three from the Angels on the heels of losing six of seven was important to the Royals because it keeps everyone relaxed. The Royals desperately want to play significant games in August and September, and to do that they will have to break out of losing spells much more quickly than...

Davis understands effort for Collins in coming out
As an aspiring NFL cornerback a decade ago, Wade Davis wanted to stand out on the field, not for his sexual orientation.

Wade Davis Steps Forward
by John Viril—
In his last two starts, Wade Davis showed he has learned how to strike out batters during his year in the bullpen. Wednesday’s 7 shutout innings with 7 strikeouts against the red-hot Atlanta Braves is ample evidence of his development. Davis’s dominance was the key factor in breaking Atlanta’s major-league leading 10-game win streak in a 1-0 Kansas City victory...

Wade Davis: Starting to Relieving to Starting Again
Were you to read FanGraphs, and only FanGraphs, you might be led to believe there’s only one opinion one might have on Sunday’s trade between the Rays and the Royals. And that one opinion would be “that’s a bad trade, for the Royals.” Indeed, many feel that way, but many also do not feel that way, for reasons I won’t bother to get into. Those people don’t write here...
