Royals Make Flurry Of Trades As MLB Deadline Approached

The Kansas City Royals would make a flurry of moves Thursday as the trade deadline hit.

How about this move with the Padres dealing backup catcher Freddy Fermin in exchange for not one, but two pitchers, one in reliever Ryan Burgert, the other in starting pitcher Stephen Kolek.

That would only begin a day of big time moves by the Royals. 

How about this move with the Pittsburgh Pirates bringing over left-handed starting pitcher Bailey Falter, who’s got several years of control before he would ever hit free agency?

And then maybe the splashy move of the day, bringing over outfielder and left-handed hitting Mike Yastrzemski from the San Francisco Giant?

Royals Got work to do chasing the Tigers in the AL Central, but certainly very doable to make a run for one of those three wild card spots in the American League.

Royals in Toronto tonight to take on a good Blue Jays team.

They’ll send Michael Waka to the Hill. Cardinals made one more trade on Thursday.

They deal reliever Phil Maiton to the Texas Rangers for a couple of relievers.
