A number of sites are reporting that the Kansas City Royals are interested in a trade with the Cardinals for Matt Adams. That list includes Leigh Olecszack at KC Kingdom, Max Rieper at Royals Review, and Mike Bates at MLB Daily Dish. All three have based their stories on a tweet from USA Today’s Bob Nightengale:
However, the way Nightengale phrases this message, it sounds like he assumes that the Peter O’Brien deal ended Kansas City’s interest in Adams. As the above articles point out, this assumption might not be true since Adams is a left-handed hitter while O’Brien bats from the opposite side of the plate.
