Kansas City Royals second baseman Michael Massey is gaining attention as the trade deadline approaches, following a strong performance this season, including a go-ahead home run against the Detroit Tigers. Despite the Royals' overall struggles, Massey is having a bounce-back year, with a batting average of.274 and above-average fielding at second base. Sources suggest the current trade value for Massey may never be higher, as he remains under team control for two more years. As the Royals are unlikely to rebuild, the team may look to capitalize on Massey's peak performance with a potential trade.
