After trading for utility man Adam Frazier last week, the Kansas City Royals appeared to shift themselves towards the buyers category ahead of the July 31 MLB trade deadline, despite their below .500 record.
There may have been doubt though around whether or not the Royals would continue to buy, after GM J.J. Picollo signaled on Friday that Kansas City might not be buyers or sellers at the deadline and standing pat would "not be a bad thing".
However, it took just a day for him to counter the standing pat argument, as the Royals are reportedly acquiring veteran outfielder Randal Grichuk from the Arizona Diamondbacks as per FanSided''s MLB insider Robert Murray.
