Royals Hold Key Pitchers Despite Struggles | Kansas City Royals News
Description
The Royals held firm at the trade deadline, keeping key pitchers Michael Wacha and Seth Lugo despite a dismal 22-44 record with them on the mound. They shipped out Lane Thomas and Bailey Falter, but the real story is what they didn’t do — nothing to move their core arms, who’re locked in through 2027. GM J.J. Picollo insists only a “truly outstanding” offer would pry them loose, betting big on next year’s turnaround. But with a last-place finish, shaky bullpen, and a lineup that can’t score, the gamble feels risky — especially when the team’s own record says otherwise.
