## Resource

The Royals’ slide has turned them into trade bait, but don’t expect easy wins—Bobby Witt Jr. shines while the rest of the roster struggles, making them a seller with hidden gems. The Yankees, hunting catcher help, can’t move Salvador Perez or Carter Jensen, so they’ll need to look elsewhere. Vinnie Pasquantino’s injury and slump make him a risky trade, while Michael Wacha remains a reliable, high-value asset. Seth Lugo’s underwhelming debut and looming salary make him less appealing. The bullpen’s only bright spot? Steven Cruz. Matt Strahm’s free-agent buzz doesn’t match his stats, but Daniel Lynch IV’s low WHIP could catch eyes. With the Royals likely to sell, teams like the Yankees will tread carefully—knowing they’re paying for potential, not proven talent.
