As Michael mentioned in the Lukewarm Stove yesterday , Royals lefty Kris Bubic is garnering some trade interest right now, according to Will Sammon at The Athletic . Given the Cubs’ reported interest over the summer, and given how extremely compelling he was looking as a trade target at that time, I wanted to give this rumor a little more attention. Firstly, I want to note how Sammon frames the situation: “At a time when club executives are doubting whether some top-of-the-rotation...
