Kansas City Royals news: The Savannah Bananas will return to the K

The Savannah Bananas, known for their high-energy Banana Ball games, will return to Kauffman Stadium next summer, continuing their tradition of bringing lively entertainment to downtown Kansas City. The announcement comes as the stadium’s role in revitalizing the area remains a topic of discussion, with its impact on urban density and local perception noted despite ongoing financial challenges tied to its operations.

Meanwhile, Royals pitching prospect Justin Lamkin is making progress on developing a curveball in the Arizona Fall League, aiming to expand his arsenal beyond fastball and slider. The 22-year-old left-hander, who missed part of the season due to a shoulder injury, is focused on refining the pitch while regaining his form.

Off the field, the Royals organization is reportedly evaluating potential candidates for an assistant hitting coach position, with former White Sox minor-league coach Cam Seitzer emerging as a possible fit due to his developmental experience.
