The Kansas City Royals, expected to sell at the trade deadline, may trade left-handed pitcher Kris Bubic. With a 4.11 ERA this season, Bubic is seen as a more likely candidate to be moved compared to teammates Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha, who are under contract through 2027. Bubic, currently on the injured list, is projected to return in time for trade discussions before the August 3 deadline. The Royals aim to retool rather than rebuild, indicating a selective trading approach this summer.
