Don’t give up on the Kansas City Royals just yet. While a rough June has seen the Royals dip below .500, they don’t believe they’re anywhere near exiting the playoff race. Taking the first two games of their series against their fellow Wild Card-contending Texas Rangers was a huge first step after a dismal week beforehand. The Royals don’t want to sell at the trade deadline, because they believe they have a relatively short title window with Seth Lugo and Cole Ragans at the top of the rotation.
