If the Kansas City Royals are genuinely going to get back into the playoff race, their acquisitions at the deadline will play a significant role in that. None may have a bigger impact than starter Ryan Bergert.
Bergert was an under-the-radar acquisition for Kansas City as he's not exactly a household name. He's also a former sixth-round pick in the middle of his rookie season. And yet, since coming to KC, he's been one of the best starting pitchers for Matt Quartraro's team and looks like he'll be a rotation mainstay for this year and well beyond.
