It has been three weeks since the trade deadline - a small sample size for sure - but the early returns for the series of deals the Royals made are looking pretty good so far.
To remind you, on July 29 and 30, the Royals made three trades:
- They acquired pitcher Michael Lorenzen from the Rangers for pitcher Walter Pennington.
- They acquired infielder Paul DeJong from the White Sox for pitcher Jarold Rosado.
- They acquired pitcher Lucas Erceg from the Athletics for pitchers Will Klein and Mason Barnett and outfielder Jared Dickey.
