Join our Royals conversation. Never too early to think trades, especially this season

As the Royals sink deeper in the standings, it’s time to think about trades. The trade deadline isn’t until Aug. 2, but why wait? If a contending team believes a member of the Royals can help and wants to beat another team to the punch, the Royals should deal.

What are the Royals’ best chips? On today’s SportsBeat Live, beat writer Lynn Worthy and columnists Sam McDowell and Vahe Gregorian discuss what actions the Royals might take to begin future planning.

Also, what to make of Daniel Lynch’s discouraging start, and Salvador Perez’s recent hot streak? Join in the conversation with your questions and comments. First pitch is at 10 a.m.
