Thread: Rays/Royals Blockbuster deal SUN

Im not sure how anyone can say this was good for the Royals. They have a good young core of hitters, but will these pitchers plus improvements from the core yield them 18 wins? Honestly, if they wanted to pay Shields what they paid him, they could have signed Sanchez or Jackson and traded a much lesser prospect tthe Rays for the other pitcher...

The moral of the store is this: trade with Dayton Moore... wonder if he'd trade some minor league pitching for Correia.

Gotta be good to have a GM willing to take a chance & believe in their moves

Did you notice ,that after the trade there g.m. didnt even start second guessing himself or throw the new players under the bus?
