Summary

Caglianone Joins Royals

The Kansas City Royals are set to elevate their game by promoting 22-year-old sensation Jac Caglianone to the major leagues. After an impressive stint in Double-A and Triple-A, where he batted .322 with 15 home runs in just 50 games, Caglianone aims to ignite the Royals' faltering offense as they currently linger in fourth place in the AL Central.
