This is a series that looks back at their trade history with each team in baseball. So far, we have looked back at trades with the Braves, Cubs, and Diamondbacks. Today we look at the history of deals with the Baltimore Orioles.
Total number of Royals/Orioles trades: 21
The Orioles dominated the Royals early on in the history of the franchise, winning 23 of the first 24 matchups. Perhaps that caused some bad blood, because the Royals made two trades with Baltimore in 1970 (getting Bobby Floyd for Moe Drabowsky, and purchasing John Sullivan) then didn’t make another trade with them for 14 years.
