It's interesting that trade rumors suggest the Royals will trade Jac Caglianone and other players for Cedric Mullins. We could be getting a sneak peak at the Royals newest player, which is exciting.

Don't make me do spreadsheet work on my one day off. Is your position that Chris Getz was better than Johnny Giovatella during the, let's say, three seasons before the Angels acquired Giovatella? WAR is a counting stat I might remind you.

And how many runs is our offense averaging? 1.9 per game?


EDIT: If I did the math right, it's 3.8.

My position is that neither one of them was good enough to be a major league starter, and suggesting the Royals screwed over Gio is stupid.
