I, reacting in skepticism, said (paraphrasing): "of course the Royals do that deal if offered (Profar > Myers + Odorizzi + Montgomery, IMO). Hell, if necessary, throw in a half season of Ervin Santana. It will never happen."
And I was told the price was TOO high.
Still chuckling.

The Royals better get a viable backup plan in place because building around Escobar isn't going to work, IMO. Far too low of an OBP to be a consistent offensive player, and he kicks the routine ball far too often.
