Despite the fact that the Royals are about as far as they can get from the playoff hunt in an admittedly weak American League, Royals fans couldn\u2019t find a majority opinion on trading the lefty. A plurality of 46% believe that the team should trade him only if there\u2019s a good deal to be had. I\u2019d be interested to hear some of you sound off in the comments about what a good deal for Bubic would look like to you.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The next-highest vote-getter was that he should be traded no matter what at 35%; given his contract ends at the conclusion of the 2026 season, and the team seems unlikely to compete, that\u2019s probably what makes the most sense. Though the team should obviously seek out the best deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I was heartened to see that nearly one in ten Royals fans would like to see Bubic return for next season. He\u2019s been my favorite pitcher on the team since 2020, and I\u2019ll be sad to see him go if, indeed, he does leave. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised at all to see the <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/mlb\/teams\/la-dodgers\/\" data-i13n=\"sec:content-canvas;subsec:anchor_text;elm:context_link\" data-ylk=\"slk:Dodgers;sec:content-canvas;subsec:anchor_text;elm:context_link;itc:0\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Dodgers&quot;,&quot;ySubModuleName&quot;:&quot;anchor_text&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\">Dodgers<\/a> pick him up and turn him into their rotating stable of injured stud pitchers should KC allow him to depart in free agency, Though, I suppose, at least I\u2019d be happy for him to go somewhere where he might get to experience some playoff success again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Did these results surprise you? What kind of trade would you like to see the team make?
