The Royals CAN trade him, but it has to be for the right return.
It’s got to be a huge win for the Royals to do it, to the level of the Brewers win with Jon Lucroy (that netted top 25 prospect Lewis Brinson and top 75 prospect Luis Ortiz, for only 1.5 years of control).
Considering Perez is controlled for 3.5 years at market value (or maybe even a little less), it’s kind of staggering to think about a comparative return for him.
It would take at least one prospect of Brinson’s stature, maybe even more highly regarded. Plus a top 50. Plus a top 75-100. Plus a lotto ticket.
Is there a contender motivated enough to provide that, that has a deep enough farm system? I just don’t know about that.
