Bold trade by the Royals. If Shields and Davis pitch to norms, then the division will be very interesting next season.

Myers was the Minor League player of the year and is one of the game's best prospects. Surprised that the Royals would give him up for two years of James Shields. Very surprised.

Whoa. This is a very big negative. The Royals are not only relevant. They've got a decent shot with that rotation now. If their hitters start developing, they're going to be a very very very good team. Shields, Davis, Guthrie, Chen...and that really good young pen.

I'd still rather face them than Bruce Chen.

They also have three years of Davis who might be able to put it together. If Shields can continue to pitch the way he has the past two years and Davis can figure it out it is a very good trade for the Royals. We will see though.

![]() You make this sound like he was horrible before then. He had one bad year in five. He's one of five pitchers in all of baseball to go 200+ innings the last five years. Davis is a good get too. He didn't start last year because the Rays had to many pitchers. The dude's solid. |

It's only two years, though, which gives their young arms to develop in the minors. By then, they could be a consistent contender.

We'll see how it works out, but I think this another excellent move by Tampa in the long run. In the short run, it makes The Royals better right now. |

You know, I commend the royals for just not wanting to suck anymore, but they paid a insanely high price. 2 solid SP but Wil Myers, that guy has MVP potential. This is a great haul for Tampa

I agree its an aggressive move by the Royals but one they have had to make after many many years of treading water. This could be one of the most interesting trades of the last ten years. Lots of good prospects given up by KC. I think they will be more competitive next year and for the next few years..
