The trade deadline is Friday, and the Royals may have a few discussions on deals with reports indicating the Seattle Mariners have made a push for second baseman Whit Merrifield, and the Giants, Padres, and Dodgers all reportedly interested in Danny Duffy despite his injury.

Carlos Santana, Mike Minor, Jorge Soler, Greg Holland, Scott Barlow, and Michael Taylor could all also be in trade discussions this week.
