Honorable Mention

The Royals got “honorable mention” in the “winner” category at FoxSports.com regarding their recent trades. Here’s what they said: “New GM Dayton Moore made five trades in the final eight days before the deadline, acquiring young pitching in almost all of them. Two players he did not move, second baseman Mark Grudzielanek and left-hander Mark Redman, might clear waivers in August.”
