Royals stand pat at the trade deadline to the chagrin of fans
Baseball’s non-waiver trade deadline was at 3 p.m. on Monday, and while there were a lot of moves made, the Royals did not make any last-minute deals.
This did not sit well with many Royals fans.
Seeing all these MLB trades and none of them have been with the Royals

Makes me sad that the #Royals aren't even being mentioned in any rumors, are we even trying?

30 more minutes, and the only move the #Royals who are out of playoff contention have made is trading Brett Eibner. Nice.

@rachelroyalkc : the trade deadline moves last year clearly exhausted him

GMDM could trade Kelvin Herrera for a small army in this market, but he probably won't. #Royals

Missed opportunity if the Royals get nothing done in this market. These trades are nuts.

Just didn't have the energy to pull deals. #Royals extra tired from postseason runs. https://t.co/NANzpuruxJ
