Because everyone is posting a trade block these days and because Jared had such great success with his 90s NBA block...
Here's who the Royals are shopping and mostly unlikely to trade:
Oswaldo Arcia - new life in TB, and if you think the Twins are as good at juding talent now as they have been in the past, then Arcia is a future HOFer
Lorenzo Cain - currently on the DL and also very good at baseball
Brian Dozier - I have depth at 2B, open to moving him or Wong in the right deal
Hunter Dozier - breaking out in the Royals farm system; also, a kid named Dozier once beat me up in the 4th grade which is why I want to get rid of all Doziers from my team
Yunel Escobar - the exact same player on the Angels as he was on the the Nationals last year, which is to say a pretty good 3B
Evan Gattis - good power numbers for a bench bat, also rates at C if you need one in a pinch
Alex Gordon - fun fact: he plays for both the IBC and MLB Royals
Yasmani Grandal - Oy.
Jeremy Hazelbaker - great start to the MLB season. Currently raking again at AAA.
David Ortiz - I keep hoping he'll come back for another season. Probably not happening
Jose Reyes - Back and playing in the majors. Pretty good sim for a SS
Dan Vogelbach - it will be hard for me to part with him, as he's Papi's replacement for next season, but if he nets me an upgrade at a position of need, I'll consider it
Kolten Wong - See Dozier, Brian
Ben Zobrist - Having one of his best seasons ever. Still plays almost anywhere on the diamond.
Any and All prospects.
I'm specifically looking for upgrades at C, 3B, SS, and SP. Will combine any of my current SP with others to upgrade at SP.
If someone isn't listed here, they're either named Rizzo or Ozuna (and thus probably not moving), or I just ran out of things to say. Feel free to ask. I'm listening. This is Frasier signing off.
