England soccer team visits Kansas City Royals during MLB event

On June 18, the English soccer team, preparing for the FIFA World Cup 2026, visited Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City for a Major League Baseball game between the Royals and the St. Louis Cardinals. Members of the England squad, including Thomas Tuchel and Harry Kane, participated in team events and met with the Royals players. The Royals are addressing pitching depth issues due to multiple injuries, relying on younger players like Stephen Kolek and Luinder Avila to fill gaps. In a roster move, the team acquired Randy Dobnak for additional support. Meanwhile, Vinnie Pasquantino's injury opens up first base opportunities for player Jac Caglianone, who returns to a familiar role while balancing the catching lineup with Salvador Perez.
