Royals trade:
Addison Russell (Minors)
2014 10th Round pick
Red Sox Trade:
Dustin Pedroia $10M
Yu Darvish $18M $18M
Cash: $28M $18M
Royals accept this trade because we want to win now. Fully expecting Russell to be one of the best SS in baseball the next decade or so, it really hurts to lose him. But, Pedroia and Darvish should make me the favorite for the WS this year and Darvish will help me not drop off too much after this year. Gotta go for it when I have the chance.
