• The Royals successfully took advantage of a buyer's market

Take a victory lap, everybody! Then get back to work. | Kevin Sousa-Imagn Images The Royals made smart, aggressive moves that may not be enough but didn't do any harm. Two weeks ago, I came to you and insisted the Royals should be buyers at the trade deadline despite their abysmal record. The biggest reason I made that argument was because, despite the general assertion that baseball has o...2025

Photo by Ed Zurga/Getty Images The Pasquatach falls a triple shy of the cycle. The Royals had an offensive explosion, paced by a three-hit night for Vinnie Pasquantino in a 9-6 win over the Braves to even the series Tuesday night.
