The Kansas City Royals still have hopes of really getting back into the Wild Card race. Unfortunately, time is growing short, and the club hasn't been able to catch fire the way it needs to to jump several teams ahead of it in the postseason race.
Should the team continue to tread water and eventually decide it's out of the race, could it find a way to shave some salary and help a real contender? At least one analyst thinks the Royals might send Mike Yastrzemski packing if things don't change soon.
Obviously, the trade deadline has come and gone, and the waiver wire trades don't work like they used to, but a team like the Royals can still help other teams and save a little cash with the waiver wire.
