With the Royals currently in last place in the AL Central, they will most likely be sellers at the upcoming trading deadline. MLB.com’s Dick Kaegel takes a look at players the Royals might be looking to deal and what they want to receive in return.

He names outfielders Melky Cabrera and Jeff Francoeur as outfielders the team might concider dealing. Also he names corner infielder Wilson Betemit and starting pitchers Bruce Chen, Jeff Francis and Kyle Davies as other players who could be traded.

According to Royals general manager Dayton Moore any deal that the team makes would need to help the team in the future.

“Any deal that we would potentially make would be something that we felt would help us long term,” Moore said. “We’ll be open-minded as we move forward, as we always are, but there’s no specific strategy in place where we’re trying to push a certain player.”

Cabrera is currently batting .293, with 11 home runs and 51 RBIs. Francoeur is batting .265 with 12 home runs and 56 RBIs.
