Once upon a time, I charged the Kansas City Royals with the harshest of accusations for a professional sports team. Not that they weren’t good (they definitely were not good) or not trying, but that they were boring.
Well, that ain’t the case today.
With the trade deadline looming, the Royals are making deals and rumored to be in the mix to make more.
The team had already landed Hunter Harvey, but with injuries and ineffectiveness hitting the pitching staff, the Royals went out and landed another pitcher, this one a swing pitcher in Michael Lorenzen, a 10-year veteran most recently of the Texas Rangers but who’s also pitched for the Reds, Angels, Tigers and Phillies.
