The Royals made noise in the offseason and doubled at the trade deadline. It’s working. On August 1st, the Guardians led the AL Central by six games. Four weeks later, that lead has nearly disappeared.

Kansas City was tied for first after taking the opening three games of their four-game set with Cleveland but fell one game back after dropping the finale.

The two foes will face off once more this season in early September, with the Twins still lurking (3.5 GB) despite just being swept by the Braves.

The Giants got the Dump Deadline underway on Wednesday when they waived three Major League-caliber contributors.

This comes after the Angels committed the same act last year by placing players like Lucas Giolito, Hunter Renfroe and Reynaldo López on waivers, among others.
