The Kansas City Royals are approaching a trade deadline where relief pitching could be a primary point of emphasis for them in the pursuit of retooling for 2027. After a very poor start to the season, Lange subtly rebounded into one of the Royals most reliable relievers, leading him to overtake Lucas Erceg in the bullpen hierarchy as their anchor. Who could the Royals trade out of their bullpen at the deadline beyond Alex Lange? Luckily for the Royals, their tradeable relief pitching doesn't start or end at Lange. He's in the midst of a fourth consecutive sub-4.00 ERA season and unlike Lange, was able to not only weather his early season storm, but keep it at bay.
