Royals/Diamondbacks TRADE

[Royals GM (Max)]

Royals TRADE:
-- Aaron Sanchez TOR SP, $0.51M (5)
-- Greg Bird NYY 1B, $1.25M (4)
-- Chance Adams NYY RHP, Prospect
-- 2019 Pick 4.16 (KCR)
-- 2020 4th (KCR)

Diamondbacks TRADE:
-- Evan White SEA 1B, Prospect
-- Zack Collins CWS C, Prospect
-- Devin Mann LAD SS, Prospect
-- George Valera CLE OF, Prospect
-- Maximo Castillo TOR RHP, Prospect

I accept. I'm a Yankee fan so it's weird to be trading two Yankees, but ask any Yankee fan and they'll tell you these two guys are just so maddening. I didn't quite plan to go for all prospects, but I think the main ones here in White and Collins are close to the bigs so I am okay with. Sanchez looks like he did in 2016 when he was really good, but since he is a (5) he just has no spot on my team. Banking on the big potential of Valera in several years while Mann and Castillo are nice pieces who have some solid profiles along the lines of what I like to see. Good luck Dave, glad we could get this done.

[DBacks GM (David)]

I accept.

Look at this shark, jeez.

I have plenty of 1B and OF depth in the farm so moving White and Valera didn't hurt. I'm gambling on two guys who I hope rebound and reach some of their true potential. Adams has had two good minor league starts, so he should be an MLB All-Star by July. Bird is meh, hopefully he gets traded and hits somewhere where he doesn't have to look at Voits manliness. Sanchez is the real winner here, needing more arms to build around, I'm hoping TOR extends him IRL and I like the way their offense is going so he should win 25+ games with Vlady leading the way offensively.

Good dealing Max, you'll turn that trash dump of a roster into a reputable contender in no time.

Approve (2-0). Wow, Valera is such a good get. Another great trade for the Royals.

[Braves GM (Cole)]

Pass, favors Royals side but fair-ish.

[Marlins GM (Andrew)]

Like Valera. Obviously a long road ahead for him though and a wide range of outcomes. White & Collins are not to my tastes, but nice moves to gain depth & talent in the minors.

DBacks picking up some helpful MLB pieces as well, but on the net think the Royals side has the better upside. Good swap.

Approve (5-0). Interesting deal, good both ways. Valera is a solid pickup for KC. 

[DBacks GM (David)]

Like this for the Royals rebuild, Valera is a great bat but looking at the Dbacks OF depth it makes sense to move him for a solid SP. Bird and Adams are expensive Yankee fliers but it seems like the Dbacks like taking risks on certain players (Brinson, Happ, Williams). KC has made some great moves right out of the gate, watch out.
