They'd have been better off taking back an A ball lottery ticket. It's impossible to defend trading for a guy that could have been had for nothing last week. |

If the Braves think he's good enough to be a bench player on their team he's probably not a turd...also the Braves have bent the Royals over on the last several trades... probably should stop trading with them.

The problem is why are you taking back a guy who was DFAd last week? Why didn't you just claim him then...that's like not getting something for free then trading for it. It's dumb. |

Braves traded Waters for a high school pitcher who is hurt. Dick Lovelady for cash. |

It's not a great trade but Lopez is also a guy with zero pop in his bat. I don't think you'd get someone on a team's top 30 prospect for him but maybe I'm wrong. But in the end I think it's a salary and roster dump as much as anything. They're dumping a guy who just isn't going to be worth what he's making and clearing the room for an infield with Witt and Garcia penciled in with Massey and Taylor already on the team and Loftin on the way to fight for the remaining spots.

Also why are the Royals targeting relief pitching? That's supposed to be the easiest thing to develop and has little value to a bad team.

I was listening to some KC sports talk and I couldn’t believe they were defending Piccolo. Basically saying “well just because he worked under DM doesn’t mean he shares the same philosophy”. WTF how can you defend this guy and claim he doesn’t bear any responsibility for where the Royals are now? KC has some of the most gutless sports media.
