    Royals on the verge of acquiring James Shields and Wade Davis from the Rays

    Royals get James Shields and Wade Davis. Rays get Royals prospect Wil Myers and other prospects (not named yet).

    Source: #Rays will send James Shields and Wade Davis to #Royals for Wil Myers and other prospects.

    Wow. Big trade. This won't put the Royals in contention.

    Hearing that Shields, Davis and Myers aren't only names in trade. It's bigger than that, source said. #rays #royals

    Could Hellickson be somewhere?

    I don't think the Rays wanted to part with Hellickson since he's so young. I like the trade. The Royals needed starting pitching bad. They have now acquired Ervin Santana and James Shields while re-signing Jeremy Guthrie. Davis joins an already solid bullpen.

    Also, if for some reason they were able to talk the Rays into taking Hochevar, that'd be fantastic.

    having the best minor league system doesn't win World Series (or **** get you to .500 baby steps i guess) and although Myers most likely is going to be awesome, he struck out a ton in AAA and its easier to find RF than it is starting pitching.
    I think Dyson plays everyday in CF and Cain slides to RF and Francouer gets dealt for some BP fastballs and a bag of Redman.
    The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

    I like the trade for the Royals. Best one in years IMO. James Shields has proven he can win with a young team, now he can bring that attitude and ability to the Royals.

    Mad props to the Rays. Somehow they find ways to make deals like this and stay competitive in the AL East. I'd love my Pirates to have their management team.

    Needed starting pitching bad. Davis can also be an end of the rotation guy. Sucks we traded Myers, but a lot of team officials think Jorge Bonifacio will be better than Myers.

    A million times this. The Rays have the best front office in baseball and one of the best in all of professional sports.

    Bonifacio may be but he is still pretty far away. Like giving Francouer 500 more ab's away. This wouldn't sting so bad if Bubba Starling wasn't already considered a bust.
