As the MLB trade deadline draws closer, the Kansas City Royals sit with the second-worst record in baseball. While the front office looks for signs of life on the field, many fans have started to grow impatient with the lack of trade action thus far. I first outlined four potential trade candidates back in late May and as of now, all four remain with the organization. Kansas City made a minor trade earlier this week, sending pitcher Andres Núñez to the Red Sox for cash considerations.
A little over a year ago, the Royals traded Carlos Santana to the Mariners.
