KC got robbed. You trade a prospect like Wil Myers for a pitcher like David Price not Shields and Davis. Shields is a pitcher more on the Mat Latos level and you didn't see the Reds giving up Aroldis Chapman for him. And the Royals don't need another reliever. Why did they trade for Davis? It makes no sense.

Wow. Huge get for the Rays! Wil Myers is that middle of the order bat they need to go with Longoria. He is young and cheap too.

Easy there. Dude had one really good year last year, the others were good but not great. Most of which came from KCR super hitter friendly PCL team. Go look at all the crazy numbers their recent prospects put up their. He's good and has potential but he's not THAT good. I think they traded him because he spells his name Wil, thats trade worthy imo.

The Reds paid a similar price to this for Latos.
