What happened: Yahoo Sports lists the Atlanta Braves as a possible trade suitor for a Kansas City Royals pitcher in the MLB offseason.

Why it matters: The two clubs have dealt before: the Braves acquired Lane Thomas and Bailey Falter from the Royals on Aug. 2. Kansas City is weighing rotation trades, with Picollo reportedly wanting additions without aggressive spending, and the Royals outrighted Alex Lange and four others amid Vinnie Pasquantino trade talk.

What to watch: Any Braves-Royals deal would come once the offseason trade market opens after the World Series.
