Veteran right-hander Seth Lugo isn't going anywhere at the deadline - he's sticking with the Royals.
On the same day the Kansas City Royals placed left-hander Kris Bubic on the injured list with a shoulder issue, taking him off the list of potential trade candidates, his teammate Seth Lugo has removed himself from that list, as well, albeit in a very different way.
According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, Lugo and the Kansas City Royals have come to terms on a contract extension - meaning not only will he not be traded this week, but he will no longer hit the open market at season's end, when he was poised to be an attractive option for teams in need of starting pitching.
