The Royals have been playing well in the second half so far, with good offensive production and even a couple of shutouts. We talked about the recent performances of Jakob Junis, Brad Keller, Jorge Soler, and others. Meanwhile, the trade deadline is coming up quickly, and while the Royals have made some moves already, they have a couple of names who may still be dealt. And if that's the case, the Royals have some performers in Omaha ready to step in, with strong performances by Ryan O'Hearn, Brett Phillips, and Richard Lovelady. There's an expected flurry of moves coming in the next week, setting up an interesting last two months of the season. Follow us!
