Not enough players. Every Orioles fan knows that the way to get a good player is to give up a TON of really shitty players.
You'll need to include Chen and Getz, for starters. Brett Hayes, Tony Abreu and Irvin Falu are going to need to be in there as well, oh yeah, and Moscoso - because the Royals need an arm (everyone always needs an arm).
And don't forget Bourgeois, because the Orioles need some team speed and Terry Evans, because a good Orioles trade has to include a flash in the pan that can 'really recapture his form'. Finally, you'll need someone that you used to think might be good but clearly sucks...I'm thinking David Lough looks good and then another young AAAA prospect - afterall, the Orioles need to get younger (everyone
always needs to get younger); Yowill Espinal should do that nicely.
So, here's a perfect trade for the Royals:
Hochevar
Francouer
Chen
Moscoso
Getz
Hayes
Abreu
Falu
Bourgeois
Evans
Lough
Espinal
for:
Jones (because they won't be able to re-sign him)
Bundy (hey, you gotta give to get)
Machado (he's blocked by Hardy, no room for him to play)
Gausman (he's closer to the show than Bundy and for this many immediate major leaguers that are in their prime years, we'll need someone that can contribute this year)
Then finally you'll need to decide that including Falu and Chen is too much to give up, but if they include Schoop or kick in some cash to cover Jones' salary, you'd probably go ahead and pull the trigger.
