## Resource

The Royals’ bullpen has been a disaster all season, and Saturday’s loss to Boston only deepened the pain. With offense barely scratching the scoreboard, it was the bullpen’s meltdown in the 6th, 7th, and 8th that sealed the fate. Enter Spencer Bivens — claimed off waivers from the Giants — a 32-year-old righty with a solid 2025 but a rough 2024 ERA. Sent down to Omaha for a fresh start, he could be the quick fix the Royals desperately need — or at least a stepping stone toward a better future.
