Royals GM Burke under fire over stalled trade talks
Kansas City general manager Joe Burke faced heavy criticism as the Royals missed a midseason trade that could bolster their defense of the AL West title. Burke defended patience, saying it’s worse to surrender future prospects for a risky move while noting Willie Wilson and Clint Hurdle were among potential trade targets. He remained confident the team could repeat as champions if players reach potential.

The Hutchinson Broncs improve to 9-7 overall and sit sixth in the Jayhawk League at 2-6 in league play. El Dorado Coors paces the loop at 9-0 while Liberal sits second at 7-2. Most wins came from non league games as Hutchinson splits league tests with El Dorado and Cowley County, then returns for non league Oklahoma City and a four game series with Ft. Dodge after a Topeka visit.
