If Kansas City Royals fans think the regular season's end is approaching to fast, that has already become a reality for most minor-league affiliates.
The Low-A Columbia Fireflies extended their season with some postseason success, but the High-A Quad Cities River Bandits and Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals are not so lucky. The Naturals season wraps up on Sept. 14 on the road trip against the Frisco Rough Riders.
As the Royals have promoted some players to Double-A since the High-A season ended earlier this month, there is room for conversation if some Naturals should get the same bump to Triple-A Omaha before the Storm Chasers' season ends the following week.
