It depends on what you're buying, and how much people want it.
The Royals haven't sold a highly valuable player at the deadline in quite a while. It's been a lot of complementary pieces.
My hope is that they buy someone like Chase Utley (I'll keep banging that drum). It wouldn't cost the world in prospects, but it would take a decent guy (maybe someone like Orlando Calixte).
