Michael Massey trade case turns on peak value

Kansas City closed the Detroit series with a 5-4 win.

What happened: The argument for moving Michael Massey is that the second baseman's current value may be as high as it gets. The Royals must decide whether to convert that value into a trade return or keep him.

Why it matters: A deal could capitalize on Massey's present market standing. Holding him would preserve Kansas City's option at second base but risk a lower return later.

What to watch: Watch whether Kansas City receives an offer strong enough to move Massey.
