The 2022 trading season will end today, August 2 at 5 p.m. CT. This will be the only trade deadline, as teams are no longer permitted to make waiver trades as they did in past seasons.
The Royals have already made a few notable moves this summer, including:
- Trading first baseman Carlos Santana to the Seattle Mariners for pitchers Wyatt Mills and William Fleming on June 27.
- Trading the 35th pick in the 2022 draft to the Atlanta Braves for third baseman CJ Alexander, outfielder Drew Waters, and pitcher Andrew Hoffmann on July 11.
