I knew the Royals would be active at the Trade Deadline to improve their outfield, and they did that for the most part. They added former Royal Adam Frazier at the All-Star Break from Pittsburgh, and then acquired Randal Grichuk from Arizona and Mike Yastrzemski from San Francisco at the Trade Deadline.
Unfortunately, the one deal I hoped for, Taylor Ward from the Angels, didn’t happen.
Part of that was due to the Angels hovering in playoff contention until the All-Star Break. Considering the team has been playoff-starved since their 2002 World Series title, Angels GM Perry Minasian decided to keep Ward, with the hope they could go on some run in the last two months.
