Fanshot didn't work, but Here we go:
Trade #1: Royals trade Billy Butler and Danny Duffy to the Mariners for Felix Hernandez.
Royals get: ace
Mariners get: Consistently good DH/1B with two years of team control and a young, cost controlled starter with #2 or #3 potential.
Holes could be filled by C-Rob or a FA.
Trade #2: Royals trade Mike Moustakas for Derek Holland Straight up.
Royals get: solid #2 or maybe borderline #1 starter with the possibility for an extension.
Rangers get: Long-term solution at third base with the possibility for an extension.
Holes could potentially be filled by a free agent and then eventually by Cuthbert.
FA signing:
Royals either:
Sign Ervin Santana to a 3-year, $30 Million deal.
Or...
Sign Zack Grienke to a 6 year, $100 Million back-loaded deal.
Or...
Sign Matt Cain to a 5-year, $85 Million deal.
Rotation would be:
1-Felix Hernandez
2-Zack Grienke/Ervin Santana/Matt Cain
3-Derek Holland
4- Luke Hochevar/Felipe Paulino/Bruce Chen
5-Mike Montgomery/Jake Odorizzi/Aaron Crow
Boom. Thoughts?
