Salvador Perez has tied George Brett with 317 career home runs as a Royal, and this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast gives the milestone its moment before turning to a trade deadline that is now days away.
Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco open with the home run series against the Giants, Perez’s recent hot streak against NL pitching, and the slider-heavy strategies opposing staffs have deployed to try to contain him. The record-breaking shot could come any game now, and the hosts explore what it would mean for a player who has defined what it means to be a Royal for over a decade.

The Royals have already acquired Nate Pearson, and Jacob and Jeremy evaluate what his stuff and upside could look like in Kansas City’s bullpen, both as a short-term addition and as a longer-term development project.
Injury updates on Stephen Kolek, Kyle Isbel, and Bobby Witt Jr. cover rehab timelines and the ripple effects on roster construction and player roles while all three work their way back. The prospect segment features the latest FanGraphs top 100 list, with Kendry Chourio, Josh Hammond, and Angeibel Gomez among the Royals names drawing attention.
