Good news: Slade Heathcott does not need another shoulder surgery, though I suspect he’ll still miss the rest of the season. Either way, not being cut open is always a good thing. Meanwhile, a high-ranking Royals official was in Trenton tonight, and he’s headed up to Scranton next. Something is afoot … or it could be routine coverage.
