3/10/25	Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino opens up about 'Pasquatch' nickname origin. The Kansas City Royals made the playoffs in 2024, powering out of their rebuild with an 86-win season.

3/05/25	ESPN Says That Kansas City Royals Top Prospect Could Make Big-League Debut This Season. At 6-5 and 250 pounds, Caglianone is an imposing presence, though he's not some wild-swinging, homer-or-nothing prospect. At High-A and in the Arizona Fall League, he struck out only 20% of the time. Kansas City has something of a first-base glut with Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez, so Caglianone will get outfield reps this year and could find himself playing in a corner, accelerating the timeline for his big league debut to perhaps as soon as this summer.

2/28/25	Forgotten Royals 1st-Round Pick Details Long-Shot Bid For Opening Day Roster Spot. The Kansas City Royals have their everyday first baseman locked in for the 2025 season, but it's not the same name they thought they'd be writing into the lineup card as of a few years ago. Vinnie Pasquantino, who has impressed throughout his time as a big-leaguer, is hoping to take the leap to All-Star candidacy in 2025. The Royals' former top first base prospect is just hoping to make the roster. 26-year-old Nick Pratto, who was the Royals' first-round pick in the 2017 Major League Baseball Draft, has struggled during limited playing time at the big-league level.

11/15/24	Royals' Pasquantino jokes of moving fences in at Kauffman after change in Baltimore. KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - There are no cheap home runs at Kauffman Stadium.
