Royals Farm Report is reputable. They have been around a while and do solid work. I trust that they were told this. Like I said, if true, there’s no excuse.
Yes, I would pay $20 million to secure the rights of a player who was a consensus top 100 player just 16 months ago, who fits in nicely with KC’s group of young arms, who was a supplemental first round pick, who is from the KC area, and who hasn’t even dented his 6.75 years of control yet.
The Braves turned around and shipped him out for Shane Greene (plus another prospect), so yeah, I think they would have sent him to KC 1x1 if KC was willing to eat the money.
KC wasn’t, so Greene was a better option.
