The Kansas City Royals are 12-17 on the season, but they're only 2.5 games out of the top spot in the very weak AL Central.

With such a poor record and weak division, the Royals should be looking to make a trade or two to bolster their roster and make a push for the postseason. If they do, more pitching help is a must.

ESPN's Bradford Doolittle linked the Royals, along with plenty of other teams, to a Colorado Rockies pitcher who has a 0.50 ERA this season across 18 innings pitched in Antonio Senzatela.

"For the Royals, and all teams seeking high-leverage assistance, keep an eye on the reanimated version of Antonio Senzatela in Colorado," Doolittle writes.

The Rockies might be willing to trade away this right-handed pitcher, as they're going to be one of the worst teams in MLB this year, and getting prospects back for someone pitching as well as Senzatela would make sense.
