The deadline to make trades is Tuesday at 5 pm CT, but teams are getting a jump on the market with a flurry of deals already this weekend. Here are the latest trade rumors about the Royals.
According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Royals made a run at Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena, who was instead traded to the Mariners for outfielder Aidan Smith, right-hander Brody Hopkins, and a player to be named later. They didn’t “line up” for Orioles outfielder Austin Hays, who went to the Phillies for pitcher Seranthony Dominguez and outfielder Cristian Pache.
