Honestly, I think he has more value for KC than they're going to receive back in trade because of his age, service time, and the injury concern.
If he gives you 140 games, you're likely getting a 4-5 win player who impacts the game with his bat and legs and defense. That was the profile in 2014 and 2015.
There's also the possibility he pops a lower leg injury and misses two months, like he did this year. That's the part that makes a trade most unlikely, IMO.
Garcia + a B+ prospect + a lotto ticket seems about right. That prospect would need to be someone who can contribute in 2017, though. Hard for me to imagine KC moving him for that return and only having a helpful Garcia in 2017.

Yeah, I just don't think he fits in stl timeframe. If this were the 2013 team? Sure.
At this point, id rather see the cards possibly move peralta and put a package together for a ss, moving diaz to 3rd.
I read something about Simmons but I'd imagine that's a pipe dream.
