Pasquantino: Want Lugo to stay in Royals blue

CHICAGO — Kansas City Royals first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino started pointing toward the locker of teammate Seth Lugo after their 8-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. Lugo, 35, had just pitched six solid innings in sweltering heat, leading Kansas City to its 50th win of the season.
“I’d like to see him pitch for us again,” Pasquantino said while pointing. “I’d really like to see him in a Royals jersey in his next start. We’re trying to make that happen. That’s up to us.”
The Royals are one of the bubble teams in the American League, having picked up some ground on the wild-card leaders after taking two of three from the Cubs. But they are still three games under .500 as the MLB trade deadline approaches next week. Lugo would be an attractive player for another team, as he is set to become a free agent, assuming he turns down his player option for next season.
Kansas City should do well in a trade if it chooses to move him. Lugo’s ERA sits at 2.95 after he gave up two runs in his six innings Wednesday.
“His name is prevalent, especially here [Chicago],” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said before the game. “I’m aware of that. We talked about it openly, understanding we like what we have here. We believe if we can string some good games together, we can get back in this thing.”
If they can’t get back in it, the Cubs are among the teams expected to be interested in Lugo’s services. Their starting pitching after top guys Shota Imanaga and All-Star Matthew Boyd is suspect. Righty Colin Rea gave up three home runs Wednesday, two to Pasquantino. Lugo easily outpitched him, giving up four hits and two walks while striking out six on an extremely hitter-friendly day at Wrigley Field. The wind was blowing out, but Lugo kept the ball in the park.
Afterward, he was asked how he keeps his mind focused considering the rumors swirling around him.
“You don’t think about it,” he said. “You worry about the start. That’s it.”
Lugo was pleased to hear Pasquantino go to bat for him. He said he’d rather stay and win with the Royals than be shipped out.
“I want to be here through the thick and thin,” he said. “It’s a good team. We just have to be more consistent and we’ll be all right.”
Kansas City has hovered around the .500 mark all season but hasn’t been able to get over the hump in the wild-card race. The win Wednesday drew the Royals within four games of the final wild-card spot but with four teams to overcome.
Quatraro waved off the trade talk, citing the unpredictability of the season after the deadline. No matter what his front office does, he wants his team to continue to push.
“You can add to your team and not play as well,” he said. “You can subtract from your team and play better. Or you can stay status quo and get hot.”
Pasquantino added: “It’s a business. Teams have to make business decisions, but as far as I’m concerned, I want [Lugo] in Royals blue for the rest of the season.”
After a day off Thursday, the Royals begin a homestand that will take them through the deadline on July 31. Lugo would be in line to start against the Atlanta Braves next week before the deadline, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll take the mound as scheduled.
“Start today,” he said. “Off day tomorrow, and it’s back to work after that. Control what I can control. Go about my routine. Go about my business.”

Intriguing Storyline for the Kansas City Chiefs for 2025 Campaign

The Kansas City Chiefs had history in their sights this past February as they stood across from the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. With a Chiefs victory, they would have become the first NFL franchise to win three consecutive Super Bowl championships. However, their bid for history came up short.
The Chiefs got embarrassed by the Eagles by the final score of 40-22. And while the final linescore doesn’t look too bad, the game was really never close, as the Chiefs’ offense faltered and their defense couldn’t hold its own.
Going into the offseason with their first Super Bowl defeat since the 2023 campaign. The front office was aggressive in both free agency and through the 2025 NFL Draft. Adding several new players and reuniting with some old faces this offseason, the Chiefs are looking to be as dominant as they have been in years past.
So much so that the word “revenge” has been tossed around all offseason. The Chiefs still have history on the horizon if they can make it to the Super Bowl again this season, but it’s a long road ahead before they can think of that.
With revenge being the theme for the storyline, Peter Schrager gave his top five storylines going into the new campaign, which featured this Chiefs storyline as the headliner.
“Thoroughly and utterly embarrassed in the Super Bowl. Mortifying performance from this team. We were talking dynasty. We were talking the first team to ever three repeat in the Super Bowl era and they laid an all-time egg on the biggest of stages,” Schrager said on First Take.
“Do the Chiefs respond and get off the mat? Is this Patrick Mahomes doing his last chance, last dance, Michael Jordan in the wait room the day after losing to the Pistons? Or is this window closed and Mahomes and Kelce are a thing of yesteryear?
So long as the Chiefs’ offense can stay healthy, and if the defense can maintain what they did last season into this season, revenge could easily be on the table. The biggest sense of revenge for the Chiefs comes in Week 2 as they host the Eagles at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in a Super Bowl LIX rematch.
