KANSAS CITY -- The Trade Deadline is days away and the industry is preparing for a potential flurry of moves before the July 30 cutoff as contending teams eye key players to help make a playoff push down the stretch.
The Royals (39-55) sitting at the bottom of the American League Central entering Friday, won’t be among the buying group. But how much are they willing to sell? Every year, the club is willing to listen to offers and has shown a willingness to make deals if it makes sense.
“We’re not in a hurry to move anybody, but at the same time, with where we are, it’s important to listen and evaluate certain proposals,” general manager Dayton Moore told MLB.com on Friday. “You always want to get better. Regardless of whether it’s the Trade Deadline, we’re always looking for ways to get better. We like the talent level that our 40-man roster has. We certainly don’t like our record and where we are in the standings. But we do have a strong appreciation and respect for the talent of our 40-man roster.
