There are not many sellers this season, too many teams (arguably including the Royals) think they have a chance. One reporter just tweeted that he heard from an exec, "this is the deadest deadline day ever". Its not like the world is wheeling and dealing while the Royals are standing around, there's not much going on today relative to prior years.
The people who do have players to sell are asking for way, way too much for them, and rather than coming down, they've been saying "fine, we'll keep him and build around him then"
