## Resource

San Diego Padres kick off a pivotal second-half road trip against the struggling Kansas City Royals — a series that could decide whether they’re buyers or sellers at the trade deadline. With a history of success against KC and key pitching matchups featuring Michael King, Griffin Canning, and German Marquez, this three-game set is a crucial test. A strong showing could ignite a playoff push; a collapse might trigger trade activity. The Royals, reeling at the bottom of their division, offer the perfect stage for San Diego to make their move.
