The Royals have fallen to 40-47, and unless they get hot over the next few weeks, they will likely be sellers at the trade deadline at the end of the month. But that doesn’t preclude them from making additions as well, if they improve the team in the long term. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Royals may be looking to bolster their outfield by adding a veteran on a long-term deal - Pittsburgh’s Bryan Reynolds. Rosenthal reports the Royals are “interested” in the switch-hitter, according to sources briefed on their thinking.
Talks between the clubs have yet to commence in earnest.
