When it comes to listening for Kansas City Royals updates and rumors, there are few better voices to trust than MLB.com's Anne Rogers. The Royals beat writer not only produces quality work through even the slowest baseball months, but her connections within the team provide insight that is rarely wrong. So when she says the Royals were in on Taylor Ward and to what degree, fans should listen.
Rogers recently held an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Reddit's Royals-specific subreddit, r/KCRoyals. The turnout was solid, with users asking about a litany of topics. One question asked about Kansas City pivoting to Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran after the Los Angeles Angels traded away outfielder Taylor Ward.
