The Royals might be on the hunt for OF help, but it isn’t because of the injury to Alex Gordon. They have Jarrod Dyson who is more than capable to cover for Gordon. The real need is to replace Rios. He has been terrible this season.

Trade for cespedes ?
Matt Galvin
That would be in Division Trade.

Rare, but it happens. Andrew Miller / Eduardo Rodriguez was also an in-division trade.

It’s just more costly then rare. Teams go from asking for B level prospects to A level ones

I’d be happy with continuing giving Orlando a shot and platoon Rios and him for a bit to see how that goes.

Royals need help in both corners, as Gordon is hurt, Rios is underperforming, and both are in the last year of their contracts. Jay Bruce, who is affordably controlable in the future, may be a nice option.

If you’ve watched Rios butcher a lineup slot off and on during his White Sox stint he’s not really underperforming. I’ve never seen a hitter look more clueless at the plate over long stretches….well…maybe Josh Hamilton while he was trying to quit chew.
Joseph Anderson
Have you seen Omar Infante? Ever since he took a pitch to the face he stands so far away from the plate and tries to pull 99% of the pitches, all you have to do is throw outside fastballs and sliders and he’s a guaranteed out (Salvy gets that way too).
Dock_Elvis
Just given Rios flakiness its hard to see why people somewhat overvalue him. I’ll chalk it up to an interesting name..yeah, there’s, been a.few times Perez looks like a sure out

Royals should trade for Jay Bruce. KC need help in corner outfield not just now, but likely next year. Rios and Gordon are both in last year of contracts. Bruce is affordable and under control beyond 2015.

Trying to see how many lefties they can get in a lineup?

Can’t we just grade groin strains on the old school grade system. Then when. someone pulls an A+ we all just say a player aced his junk
