Hamilton but I would say that's a less than 1% chance

You could dream I'll give you that, but truthfully neither will happen because we don't have the prospects for Miami or have the money for Hamilton.

[Phattboy4]

If you back load hamiltons salary you could do it since wells will be gone in two years.

[Halopower31]

Still would like to make a trade for Shields and sign Michael Bourn.

Yeah, but we already where that idea will end up.

[BigGuy951]

I'll be happy with Anibal Sanchez and Mike Adams.

Thrilled if they add Bourn to that.

Trout-Bourjos-Bourn

Bourn-Trout-Pujols-Morales

Trout-Bourjos-Bourn

Bourn-Trout-Pujols-Morales

Yeah it would be, but it won't and we got Wells, and Pujols' contracts to thank for that.

[GardenGrove]

****ed as usual.

Trout-Bourjos-Bourn

Bourn-Trout-Pujols-Morales

It would probably be Trout-Bourn-Trumbo. Unless we are in Boston. Then it needs to be Trumbo-Bourn-Trout

[BigGuy951]

I'd imagine Trumbo would be the odd man out, not Bourjos.

The Royals have bolstered their starting rotation for 2013 thanks to the addition of two quality pitchers. Kansas City has agreed to acquire right-handed pitchers*James Shields,*Wade Davis*and a player to be named or cash from Tampa Bay in exchange for outfielder*Wil Myers,*right-hander Jake Odorizzi, left-hander*Mike Montgomery*and third baseman*Patrick Leonard, according to a team release.

For the Rays, blessed with more than enough pitching to continue to call their rotation an asset, the addition of Myers provides Tampa Bay with another building block to complement their star player in Evan Longoria. Myers, who turns 22 on Monday, enters the 2013 season as the reigning 2012 Baseball America Minor League Player of the Year after hitting .304/.378/.554 in 99 games this season at Triple-A Omaha. Beyond Myers, the Rays also acquired three prospects from the Royals who all share the commonality of being young.*

Dang! There goes my hopes for Shields!! But damn. What a package for Shields and Davis!

[st1999]

shields and wade davis trqaded to kc for wil myers and three prospects.

[GA16Angels]

Dang! There goes my hopes for Shields!! But damn. What a package for Shields and Davis!

Terrible, terrible, terrible deal for the Royals. So terrible.

[BigGuy951]

Wow, that's a hell of a package! Our whole farm combined can't compete with that

I'm hoping Dipoto contacts Anibal Sanchez's agent and manages to get him signed. If he doesn't sign him, Marcum or Jackson, I'll seriously start questioning how good of a GM he really is.
