So what’s next for the Kansas City Royals?
The arms have been fortified with the addition of Trevor Cahill, Brandon Maurer and Ryan Buchter—the former in line for a spot in the rotation, the latter shoring up a bullpen that had been forced to turn to Al Alburquerque in key moments in recent weeks.
The Royals have won six straight and enter Tuesday night a game-and-a-half out in the AL Central and a game up on the Rays for the second Wild Card spot. They could easily compete right now—heck, they are easily competing right now.
