OK, so you trade for Shields and a young, controllable pitcher from Tampa. And the guy you ask for back is Wade flipping Davis? Not Alex Cobb. Not Chris Archer.

And you give up flipping Odorizzi, Patrick Leonard and Mike Montgomery in return. Just ****ing great.
That's the strangest part of the whole damn thing.

The Rays were actually a great fit for the Royals. They had a bunch of young pitchers with plenty of upside and years of control. Guys like Cobb and Archer could contribute immediately and be around for a long time. Or if you prefer upside, how do you not get Guerreri?

This just makes no sense on any level, regardless of what you're looking for.
