The Kansas City Royals enter the 2026 season with aspirations of competing for a playoff spot. Now more than 25 games into the season, they are tied for the second-worst record in the American League and seem destined to be sellers at the MLB trade deadline.

Examining the team situation, MLB insider Robert Murray shared his belief that All-Star pitcher Chris Bubick will be traded by the Royals this summer.

“The Royals are struggling. Bubic is in the final season of his contract. All the ingredients for a potential deadline trade. Bubic’s track record will appeal to teams. A left-hander, he posted a 2.67 ERA in 27 games in 2024. He posted a 2.55 ERA in 20 starts last season. His numbers have declined slightly this season, with a 4.08 ERA in five starts, but he’s allowing less Has hits (six hits per nine innings) and slightly more strikeouts per nine innings (9.1 this season; 9 last season). If the Royals’ decline continues, Bubic is almost certain to be traded.

Robert Murray on whether the Kansas City Royals will trade Kris Bubic

• Chris Bubic contract (Spotrac): $6.15 million salary in 2026, MLB free agent in 2026-27

Bubic, who won’t turn 29 until Aug. 19, earned his first All-Star selection with Kansas City last season. The 6-foot-3 southpaw excelled on the mound in 2025, posting a 2.55 ERA with a 24.4 percent strikeout rate and holding opponents to a .227 batting average in 116.1 innings.

He only pitched 146.2 innings over the past two seasons, but he compiled a 2.58 ERA with a 155-44 K-BB ratio and 7.6 H/9 during that span. In five starts this season, he posted a career-best 6.0 H/9 with a strikeout rate of 25.7 percent. However, he has a 4.08 ERA in 28.2 innings, in which he has allowed more than four runs in a pair of starts.

It seems unlikely that Kansas City will be able to work out a new deal with Bubic this off-season, with the California native set to cash in on MLB free agency this winter. So, barring a dramatic turnaround, it’s reasonable to think Bubic will be one of the starting pitchers moved ahead of the MLB trade deadline.

RR vs GT Highlights 2024: Rashid Khan’s Last-Ball Heroics Hand Rajasthan First Defeat

The 24th match of IPL 2024 between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur was nothing short of a cinematic thriller. In a high-stakes encounter, the Gujarat Titans pulled off a stunning last-ball victory, ending Rajasthan Royals’ unbeaten run in the tournament.

The First Innings: Samson and Parag Light Up Jaipur

After being put in to bat first, Rajasthan Royals faced an early stutter, losing their openers Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal cheaply. However, the momentum shifted dramatically when Captain Sanju Samson joined the in-form Riyan Parag.

The duo dismantled the GT bowling attack with a massive 130-run partnership. Samson played a composed yet aggressive knock of 68* off 38 balls, while Riyan Parag continued his stellar form, smashing 76 off 48 balls, including five towering sixes. RR finished with a formidable total of 196/3 in their 20 overs.

The Chase: Gill Sets the Stage, Rashid Fineshes in Style

Chasing 197 was never going to be easy against RR’s disciplined bowling attack. GT skipper Shubman Gill led from the front with a masterful 72 off 44 deliveries. Despite his efforts, the required run rate kept climbing, and wickets fell at crucial junctures, primarily due to Kuldeep Sen’s triple-wicket burst.

With 40 runs needed off the last 15 balls, the odds favored the Royals. However, the duo of Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan had other plans. Tewatia’s 22 off 11 provided the necessary impetus, but the night belonged to the “Afghan Cheetah.”

The Final Over Drama

Avesh Khan was tasked with defending 15 runs in the final over. Rashid Khan showcased his batting prowess by hitting boundaries at will. With 2 runs needed off the final ball, Rashid carved the ball through the point region for a boundary, sealings a 3-wicket victory for the Titans on the very last delivery.

RR vs GT 2024 Scorecard Summary

• Rajasthan Royals: 196/3 (20 overs) – Riyan Parag 76, Sanju Samson 68*; Rashid Khan 1/18.
• Gujarat Titans: 199/7 (20 overs) – Shubman Gill 72, Rashid Khan 24*; Kuldeep Sen 3/41.
• Result: Gujarat Titans won by 3 wickets.
• Player of the Match: Rashid Khan.

Conclusion

The RR vs GT Match 24 will be remembered as one of the best games of IPL 2024. While Rajasthan Royals displayed exceptional batting strength, their death bowling faltered under pressure. For Gujarat Titans, this win serves as a massive morale booster, proving once again that they are the masters of the “last-over” chases. Rajasthan remains at the top of the table, but the race for the playoffs has intensified.
