There are still some questions as to whether the KC Royals will be buyers or sellers at the deadline. The did manage to swing a deal for a bench rental bat in Adam Frazier on Wednesday, signaling they may lean towards buying. However, the team's play on the field continues to head closer to being a seller, potentially making closer Carlos Estévez might be one of their best trade pieces.
Estévez has had an up-and-down season, logging 25 saves already but also blowing six save opportunities. While he hasn't necessarily been the all-out lockdown reliever the Royals were hoping he'd be, he's got the stuff that could still make him quite attractive to a team dedicated to creating a run to the postseason.
