That's the thing I hate about the trade: having to include Odo in it. But overall it was a trade that Dayton really had to make.

I would have rather kept Odorizzi, as well. But that trade isn't happening w/o him, Ventura or Zimmer in there. And between those 3, he is the one I would have sacrificed.
Reportedly, Tampa REALLY wanted Ventura but Royals said "Hell No!". If the Royals took their top 3 (assuming you count Odi in the Top 3) out of play, Tampa would have made the trade with Texas . . . .
Could you imagine Shields at the top of that Texas rotation? They'd be a nightmare for any team matching up with them in the post-season!
