Long-term, I think the Rays win this trade, but for now the Royals should at least be pretty competitive in that crappy division. I keep reading that Odorizzi's ceiling is a #3, and Myers has his flaws, so while the price was steep, it could be a decent gamble for KC. Might they have interest in Soriano now?

Can't see Alf agreeing to go to the Royals.
Believe that prospects even bluest of chip prospects are vastly overvalued. The trade cost cost them their #1, #3 and #6 prospects and may not get them into the playoffs but the Royals final have a good chance at being over 500 for the first time since 1994.
