Inbox: How much of core will Royals retain?

BOSTON -- The red-hot Royals will storm into Fenway Park starting Friday night, a few days prior to Monday's non-waiver Trade Deadline.

The Royals already bolstered their staff by acquiring pitchers Trevor Cahill and Brandon Maurer and Ryan Buchter from San Diego. But are they done dealing? Let's tackle that in this week's Inbox.

Has there been any conversation about any of the almost-free agents staying in KC?

That's the most asked question of the season. I've said from Spring Training on that of the big six impending free agents -- Lorenzo Cain, Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Alcides Escobar, Jason Vargas and Mike Minor -- that general manager Dayton Moore will find a way to sign at least two.
