Among the potential trade chips for the Royals is outfielder Lane Thomas. This leads us to the Atlanta Braves as the perfect landing spot for Thomas. If the franchise isn't going to make a splashy move at the position, Thomas makes a great deal of sense, and the Royals could get something in return for the veteran. Thomas is on an expiring deal, making it clear there is little value in keeping the outfielder rostered moving forward. It makes sense for the Royals and Braves to explore a trade.
