***Official 2022 Royals Season Repository Thread***
Taylor is injured and the Royals can’t move him at the deadline…goodness. That would be just pure managerial malpractice.
So two candidates to be moved at the deadline are sidelined by injuries. Both seem troubling, but the Royals aren’t making any moves so they’ve elected to play most of this series against Detroit with a short bench. (Which came into play in the ninth when the Royals were forced to let Lopez hit against the lefty Gregory Soto. Lopez struck out.) This is against the backdrop of the upcoming trip to Toronto. As I’m sure you’re aware, Canada—like the United States—demands that foreign travelers have proof of vaccination against Covid to enter the country. No vaccine, no entry. It’s been an issue for a few teams this year. The Twins had to place four players on the restricted list when they crossed the border. So did the Reds. Just this week, the Phillies likewise had to remove four players from their active roster. That’s the most any team has had to place on the restricted list when playing in Canada. Omaha’s lineup has been missing some key players too. That’s a lineup without regulars such as Nick Pratto, Michael Massey, Brewer Hicklen and Clay Dungan. (More on the leadoff hitter in a moment!) Are they potential reinforcements for the upcoming series in Toronto? The plot thickens. We’ll learn soon enough who on the Royals active roster can’t enter Canada. I have a few guesses, but because that would be speculation, I’ll keep them to myself. Besides, we’ll find out after the game on Wednesday. I will say that my rudimentary research turned up that the most players a team had to place on the restricted list before traveling to Toronto is four. The Twins, Reds and this week the Phillies have all placed four players on the restricted list. Clubs are allowed to use players without placing them on the 40-man roster and players on the restricted list will not earn pay for time spent on the list. If the Royals have more than four, it would be a very big deal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Players we’re likely to see in Toronto:
- Michael Massey - Nate Eaton - Clay Dungan - Maikel Garcia - Freddy Fermín - Nick Pratto - Brewer Hicklen It sounds like the list of personnel not making the trip is going to be nuts. I knew we already knew this but holy cow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Toronto Blue Jays record is actually 46 - 42, but they did go 2 - 8 from their last ten games. Also, at this time they have a wild card spot.

Wow, a baseball club actually making front office moves when things don't go right. (And they are in a wildcard slot?) Who woulda thunk it?
