Kansas City's left-hander becomes a trade-deadline candidate as the Royals fall out of contention.
The Athletics are expressing interest in Kris Bubic ahead of the trade deadline, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale. The Royals left-hander is set to become a free agent after the season, making him a logical trade target if Kansas City—currently 27-39—cannot climb back into contention by late July.
Bubic, 28, has made six starts this season with a 3.74 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 35 strikeouts over 33.2 innings. His status heading into the deadline will depend first on his health and durability over the next six weeks.
