With the second half of the season almost here, it's officially just about time to figure out once and for all whether the KC Royals will be all-out buyers or sellers. It's a possibility that the next six games could be the contests that give us a strong answer about which direction the team should be leaning.
When the Royals get back from their All-Star break, they'll restart the season against a Miami Marlins team that is not really among the contenders for the playoffs in the National League, but also isn't a total pushover. Then, it's three games against NL Central leading Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field to start next week.
