Mellinger podcast: Chiefs’ Kelce, weird MLB rules + KC Royals pitching coach Cal Eldred

This may sound hyperbolic, but I don’t think we’ve ever seen an athlete transform more completely in Kansas City than Travis Kelce. The top of the show explains why.

Then we do questions on MLB’s weird plan on enforcing foreign substances, Hunter Dozier and Jorge Soler struggling, why crowds have been relatively small, and the weirdest place I’ve ever seen a fight.

The bonus section is with someone I know a lot of you have wanted to hear from: Royals pitching coach Cal Eldred.

Please listen to new episodes every Friday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

We are constantly trying to think of new ways to deliver you information, entertainment or something else you won’t get anywhere else. Part of that is evaluating how you and I can connect. My hope is this can be one more way — a podcast you can listen to whenever and wherever you like.

Join us every Friday for behind-the-scenes access to interviews with Kansas City’s coaches, fans and reporters. We’ve talked with Patrick Mahomes, Mike Matheny, Brett Veach — and more. You can get all the episodes in one place right here.
