We discussed Duda's storied legacy in Kansas City from Day One to now. With the roster spot, a whole batch of minor leaguers could be called up to the majors, including some names who've been waiting for their shot like Frank Schwindel and Richard Lovelady, but some other players have a shot to come up too. And while Duda has departed, the Royals may have to make a few other moves to br...2018-08-301h 06Kansas City Baseball VaultKansas City Baseball VaultTurning a Corner (BP Kansas City Episode 111)Ya know, Luke Hochevar wasn't the all-star we may have hoped for after being the first overall selection in the 2006 draft, but he had his moments in his Royals career.

Should the Royals have gotten younger prospects? And anyway, how does it fit with the current crop of Royals prospects?We talked about these things and the fun, new energy on the Royals lately.

Can it hold up in Yankee Stadium? We also discussed Mike Moustakas and his potential trade suitors.

The Royals did promote two significant prospects though, sending Khalil Lee to Double-A and Nicky Lopez to Triple-A. We discussed their significance and what might be reasonable expectations.Then we talked about the rough June and what's out there to get excited about.

Kelvin Herrera, however, has been a Royals since 2006 and now goes to the Washington Nationals.Herrera was such a huge part of the Royals success in 2014 and 2015, and he's one of the more notable relievers in Royals history, so we chose to remember some key moments of his Royals career and our favorite highlights.
