With less than a week to go before the trade deadline, contending teams continue to kick the tires on the players that might be available. With pitching always coveted, teams have been checking in on Royals lefty Danny Duffy, even as he is out with an injury. Duffy was placed on the Injured List last week with a flexor strain, which would likely keep him out until September.
Last week, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reported the Giants had interest in Duffy, and his injured status won’t deter them or others suitors.
