Royals Cards make trade

[kungfuwig]

OF Rivera, Juan, $4.5m (2011)
OF Evans, Nick, $0.5m (P-2011)

for

OF Teahen, Mark, $2m (2011)
C Myers, Williams, $0.5m (P-n/a)
2-10 KC

I feel this trade sets up my OF for next year with Dejesus, Rivera and what I can get off of the money I gain from getting rid of Coco crisps $5m and Jose Guillen's monster contract. I give up a top prospect in Myers, but have Santana to start there soon and Austin Romine to hopefully one day take over the job in NY. Evans is just a throw in.

St. Louis to approve

[Paul S.]

Cardinals agree.  This move is made to reduce an oversupply of OFs as well as add a top (C?) hitting prospect and early draft pick.

[BHows]

Approved

[MillerTime]

Approved.  Very even deal.  Myers may be a steal in 2 yearsm

[Colby]

Who is Williams Myers?  I can't find him in baseball reference.  I tip my hat to you prospect gurus...

Wil Myers is a Royals catcher drafted out of high school last year.  Baseball America ranks him as the Royal's 3rd best prospect.
