KC Royals News: Rumors Swirling, Wins Keep Coming

KC Royals news has been nothing but positive lately a the Royals continue to pile up the wins. At 55-35, they now have the best record in the American League by five games, and are only two games behind St. Louis for tops in the Majors.

The KC Royals ended the first half of the season hot, and started the second half right where they left off, taking three of four from the Chicago White Sox over the weekend.

Even with the winning, the starting rotation still has a ton of questions marks, especially with Danny Duffy working his way back in to the rotation after a DL stint, and Jason Vargas set to return from an injury as well.

Trade rumors are hot for nearly every team with the trade deadline approaching, but the KC Royals are said to be major players — especially when it comes to starting pitching.
