In baseball, there is the game that’s played on the field, and then there are the games within the game. One of those games has to do with handedness.

Royals left-hander Kris Bubic is a player of interest for the Athletics in advance of the trade deadline, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale writes.

Something I wrote in Friday night’s recap keeps parading through my mind.
