Bad week for the Royals.  Not only have they been shut out four games in a row but Danny Duffy was arrested for a DUI at Burger King.

Not just a bum arm. But "The left-hander signed a $65 million, five-year contract extension earlier this year, a deal that many believed was below market value."

• It wouldn’t be a surprise if the Royals dealt Kelvin Herrera this winter, as the closer is in line for a big salary bump in his last year of arbitration eligibility.  Rosenthal estimates Herrera will earn something in the $7.5-$8MM range in 2018, up from the $5.325MM Herrera earned this season.  Brandon Maurer or Ryan Buchter could take over as Kansas City’s closer if Herrera is dealt.  Herrera drew some trade buzz earlier this season as one of the many bullpen options the Nationals were exploring, and surely he would garner interest this offseason, even if Herrera hasn’t quite been as dominant this season as in recent years.  This all assumes, of course, that Herrera’s current forearm issue doesn’t prove to be anything serious.  With Mike Moustakas, Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer all potential leaving K.C. in free agency this winter, a Herrera trade could further portend the start of a rebuild for the Royals.
