Today is the non-waiver trade deadline, meaning the last day players can be traded without clearing waivers. Already we have seen a lot of activity before the deadline, and the Royals have moved outfielder Jon Jay, pitcher Kelvin Herrera, and third baseman Mike Moustakas in separate trades.
I wouldn’t expect the Royals to be too active today now that those players have been dealt. Lucas Duda could be on the move as Ryan O’Hearn has been promoted. Dayton Moore has said Whit Merrifield will not be traded. That probably means Danny Duffy won’t be dealt as well.
