Woke up yesterday wanting to make a trade. I had been working on a couple of different things, not sure which way I was leaning. Turns out I was all over the place and trades fell into place one after the other. I am honestly not sure if I am any better today than I was yesterday but the team definitely looks different. I took a hit offensively(Buxton>Straw, Xander>Adames, Urias>Segura but that's close, made up a little Freeman>Rizzo) but upgraded SS defense and really upgraded the pitching staff(Kevin Gausman, Andrew Heaney, Taijuan Walker, Edwin Diaz, Ryan Helsley, Dylan Coleman).
So here are the comings and goings in the past 48 hours.
OUT: 15 players, 3 draft picks- RP Matt Barnes, 2B Luis Urias, CL Jordan Romano, Royals Draft Pick 4, SS Xander Bogaerts, Royals Draft Pick 3, 1B Anthony Rizzo, CF Byron Buxton, SP Wade Miley, 1B Matt Mervis, SP Luis Devers, 2B Eddinson Paulino, Trevor Williams, Adrian Sampson, Anthony Descalfini, Royals Draft Pick 2, 1B Lourdes Gurriel, RP Miguel Castro
IN: 12 players, 1 draft pick- RP Dylan Coleman, 2B Jean Segura, CL Edwin Diaz, SS Willy Adames, SP Andrew Heaney, 1B Freddy Freeman, SP Kevin Gausman, CF Myles Straw, CL Ryan Helsely, SP Taijuan Walker, C Travis D’arnaud, Minnesota Draft Pick 3, C Hunter Goodman
All this and I still didn't fill my biggest offensive hole at 3B.
Crazy trade day/week
