The "will they, won’t they" game has to be exhausting for Kansas City Royals fans as the MLB trade deadline looms.
The All-Star break may have offered a brief reset, but the Royals entered the second half below .500 through 97 games. While that record isn’t a death sentence in today’s crowded Wild Card race, every close win and deflating loss has fans asking the same question: What path will Kansas City choose? Will the front office push in chips and invest in this year’s team? Or will a losing record trigger another sell-off to bolster the future?
