The 2025 MLB trade deadline is a week away and after the offense showed up in a series win over the dominant Chicago Cubs this week, the Kansas City Royals could be creeping back into the buyers conversation.
While the Royals' focus is likely on improving the offense first and foremost, they can't overlook the fact their pitching staff is in rough shape at the moment.
They've been able to withstand injuries for most, if not all of the year, to starters Kyle Wright and Alec Marsh, as well as relievers Hunter Harvey and James McArthur.
