If you’re moving Soler to a full-time DH slot and promoting Lopez, Merrifield can just go to RF (and you can still kind of rotate guys through DH for a 1/2 day break, using Merrifield to spell them in the field).
Lopez is going to be one of those guys the prospect lists just missed, I think. He’s not flashy or toolsy, but the skills are just so good.

Do you expect Soler to stay healthy? I'm hoping he stays healthy until the trade deadline so he can be traded. The Royals are going to have a new LF next year. And, since winning this year is not the priority, go ahead and make the move.
