Royals consider trading pitchers Michael Wacha and Seth Lugo soon

The Kansas City Royals are exploring trade options for pitchers Michael Wacha and Seth Lugo ahead of the MLB trade deadline. The team has struggled this season, holding a 32-45 record and sitting in last place in the American League Central. With core players like Bobby Witt Jr. and Maikel Garcia secured for the future, the Royals may opt to trade veterans to enhance their roster without initiating a full rebuild. Wacha and Lugo each have club options for 2028 and have posted similar ERAs this season, drawing interest from several contending teams. The Royals have won the first two games against the St. Louis Cardinals in their current series, with the next game scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
