With star slugger Rafael Devers getting traded from Boston to San Francisco more than a month before the MLB trade deadline, more moves should follow.

The Giants' move to send a package to the Red Sox to get Rafael Devers likely won't be the only impactful deal made before July 31.

At first blush, one might not consider the Kansas City Royals as one of the teams that should be buyers ahead of the deadline. The Royals currently sit in fourth place in the AL Central, 11 games behind the Detroit Tigers in the loss column and 11.5 games back in the division.
