Pencils down. The trade deadline is over!

Let’s talk about where the Royals are right now. They’re 54-55, a game under .500 with only 53 to play. Not great. They’re also 9th in the league - they’re closer to the bottom of the league than the top. Again, not good.

If you look at the teams ahead of them, barring an insane hot streak, they’re not catching the current division leaders as the Tigers, Blue Jays, and Astros are all 8 games ahead of them or more.
