I wouldn't argue with that approach, though purchasing a true ace on the FA market is difficult. If you trade for a Shelby Miller or a Matt Moore, that's what you're trying to acquire.
And I'm all for trading people in the Ventura/etc. group for pitching.
The problem when you try to match up the Rays and Royals is that they need MLB-ready bats, and the only one KC really has to bargain with is Myers.
