Our guy can't even stay on the field. I know Royals aren't exactly high profile enough to be considered "the best" or "the worst" of something ever but this is pretty damn close.

No, it isn't. It's turned out to be a bad trade and it freaking sucks.... but this doesn't even make the top 25 of bad trades all time.
I mean, if you're talking "worst trades ever," you're talking:
Babe Ruth for $100,000.
Frank Robinson for Milt Pappas, Dick Simpson and Jack Baldschun.
Lou Brock for Ernie Broglio.
Nolan Ryan (+ many other pieces) for Jim Fregosi.
Joe Nathan and Francisco Liriano and Boof Bonser for A.J. Pierzynski.
The steaming pile of crap the A's got for Mark McGwire.
Jeff Bagwell for Larry Anderson.
Ivan DeJesus for Ryne Sandberg.
Randy Johnson for Mark Langston.
Scott Kazmir for 1/2 season of Victor Zambrano.
John Smoltz for Doyle Alexander.
Jay Buhner for Ken Phelps.
Steve Carlton for Rick Wise.
And that's really just off the top of my head
