Maikel Garcia should be an All-Star

Maikel Garcia has quietly turned into a legitimate All-Star candidate for the Royals this season. His elite defense at third base and consistent production at the top of the lineup have made him a key piece of Kansas City's success. On the other side, Carlos Estévez continues to fly under the radar despite being one of the most reliable closers in the game. His numbers don’t get the spotlight they deserve, but he’s been lights out in the ninth inning. As for the Royals vs. Padres series, it’s a matchup of two teams looking to stay in the playoff hunt. The Royals are trying to bounce back after a rough stretch, while the Padres are heating up with their offense clicking. It’ll come down to which bullpen holds up and whether KC’s young core can keep pace with San Diego’s star power. 0:00 - Garcia the All-Star 12:30 - Estevez 23:22 - Padres Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-royals/ Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/mlb/ #Royals #KansasCityRoyals #MLB Trade Coffee Right now, Trade is exclusively offering our customer 50% off your one-month trial at drinktrade.com/LOCKEDONMLB.
