For the Kansas City Royals, it was thought that several players would find themselves on new teams. Names including Whit Merrifield, Danny Duffy, and Mike Moustakas were all rumored to be on the move. The only deal that came to fruition, though, was a deal for Moustakas with the Milwaukee Brewers.
What happened?
For a while, it looked like no players were going to be leaving Kansas City. Of course, they did trade away Kelvin Herrera very early on, but other than that, it didn’t look like any of the rumors were going to prove to be true.
