Aroldis Chapman revived his career in a few short months in Kansas City, and now the Royals are looking to take advantage of the turnaround ahead of the August 1 MLB trade deadline.

Catcher Salvador Perez and reliever Scott Barlow were mentioned as potential players who could be packaged with Chapman.
