Episode Details

The Royals have been active in trades over the past few weeks, and now that the clock is ticking toward the end of the trade deadline, how much more work can they do? On today’s SportsBeat KC, beat writer Lynn Worthy and columnists Vahe Gregorian talk about the players who have arrived and those who might be leaving.

Also, we challenge the distance of Salvador Perez’s home run in Chicago against the White Sox on Monday. Was it really just 452 feet? Pffft.

Finally, you’ll hear a tribute from the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and its president Bob Kendrick to Buck O’Neil, the museum’s founder who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame last week.
