Ask Andy: Do the Royals need to make a trade before the July 31 deadline?

Welcome to the latest edition of The Star’s Royals mailbag. The trade deadline is a little more than a month away, and there is much to discuss. Let’s get to it.

@McCulloughStar if we don't make any trades, would that really be all that bad? Sometimes it's best not to mess with the chemistry.

It’s an interesting perspective, and one almost never voiced by fans. It would be tough to disrupt the team’s chemistry with any one trade, unless it was like swapping Alex Gordon for Hanley Ramirez.
