Until today, the aftermath of last Friday’s trade deadline lingered as the biggest current news surrounding the KC Royals.
Given the mostly disappointing season this campaign has been since early May, Toronto’s weekend sweep of the Royals wasn’t particularly newsworthy, so the club’s trades of Danny Duffy to the Dodgers and Jorge Soler to the Braves continued to dominate the Kauffman Stadium news cycle.
And because the Royals had already signed all 21 of their amateur draft picks, Friday afternoon’s major league-wide deadline to get selections under contract or lose the rights to sign them generated no significant Kansas City news.
