that's why god gave baseball teams physicals

This

There is NFW that is a straight up deal

Its not a bad deal at all. At worst, he's our starting DH.

I was hoping I wouldn't wake up to this.

ROFL

A DH who's only league avg as a hitter = no value as a DH.

Don't like the deal straight up at all. Soler has not impressed me. At least we should get a minor league arm with the deal.

Wtf is this shit? Did DM have an unreported brain injury?

They got a $6.5 mil reduction in payroll.

That is worth nothing if they don't use it.

Worth nothing to you but we know it's worth something to David Glass.

I still don't understand the David Glass hate thing. He's kept the payroll right in the middle of the pack the last 4 years and this next year should make it 5.

Glass is doing the Wal-Mart thing.

Rosenthal now reporting it would be a straight up deal for Soler. Vomit.

If that's all Davis is bringing back, there must be some troubling signs in his medical file/forearm.

Soler has tremendous raw power and great upside, but there's more risk present there than you'd like, and it doesn't "solve" RF like I would have expected to agree to ship out Davis.

Lot of Royals fans are acting like they just traded the 2014-15 Wade Davis, and not the 2016 version whose K rate decreased, whose BB and hit rates increased, who lost velocity, who had two different DL stints, not for a pulled hamstring but for forearm issues, coming off two straight years in which he was worked hard in deep postseasons.

I'm disappointed there's not more coming, but then I always want more. I'm not doing cartwheels over the deal, but I'm OK with it. I just hope Soler is more Jermaine Dye than Felix Jose.
