The Kansas City Royals are actively exploring trade options for hitters, including Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward. Recent discussions have included potential trades involving Royals pitcher Brady Singer and Reds infielder Jonathan India, although no deals are imminent.

Ward, who had a solid performance in 2024, remains a key piece for the Angels as they aim for competitiveness in 2025. The Royals see him as a significant upgrade in their outfield, while the Angels are also making moves to strengthen their roster.
