About this team
Fill in Kansas City Royals' 2026 starting lineup: 9 spots across 9 position groups.
This board stayed fairly stable -- only about 36% of the names here are new compared to the year before, so a lot carries over from last season.
Not sure where to start? Luke Maile and Jonathan India also show up in this season's hint pool -- real names from the roster, but not the correct answer for any of the boxes above.
