Royals appear likely to have quiet trade deadline approach

As the MLB trade deadline approaches, the Kansas City Royals are expected to take a conservative approach. Reports indicate they may not trade key controllable players like Michael Wacha and Seth Lugo. Instead, the Royals seem open to moving expiring contracts, including reliever John Schreiber and outfielders Lane Thomas and Starling Marte. General manager J.J. Picollo has stated a desire to complement their core players such as Bobby Witt Jr. and Jac Caglianone while attempting to contend in future seasons.
