Phillies / Royals Trade

[Jss0062]

The Phillies and Royals would like to announce a trade.

The Phillies send
LF Domonic Brown

The Royals send
SP Jake Odorizzi
RP Kevin Chapman
OF Lane Adams

The rebuilding Phillies believe they have sold high on Domonic Brown as most of his advanced power numbers to me seem to be an outlier and I expect some regression next year.  I like Odorizzi as he is very consistent in his performance and I expect him to be a full time major leaguer next season.  I think Kevin Chapman can be a very effective reliever as he showed in limited time in Houston this season although he needs to improve his walk rate.  Lane Adams for me is the type of player that profiles as a 4th outfielder could turn into an everyday player with his baserunning ability and 10 HR a year pop.

Royals are revamping for another run.

Royals accept, missing a full time LF to start, Dom Brown makes sense and should bat in the middle of the Phils lineup the next couple years. Chapman was expendable as I already have a full bullpen and Adams is a long shot to be helpful. Odorizzi will be solid, but does not have the star potential that Brown has displayed at times, hopefully the terribleness of the Phillies in the next couple years will take the pressure off Dom and have him relax. Thanks to the Phillies for the good dealings.
