That's it? What am I missing here? We had some garbage AAAA relievers we could have given up

There has to be more. Zerpa is the least useful player known in the trade so far.

This trade doesn’t make any sense. There must be something else involved.

gold in here tonight. Might start paying my membership fees again.

None of them are that useful. Collin’s might be a useful 4th outfielder or platoon player.

Collins was a 2.6 fWAR rookie in 130 games... would have been a nice get but we got Yaz which is also a good get.

 

[Jaw]

Yeah I wouldn’t have minded having Collins while our left fielder was suspended last year.

He can really only play corner OF and is only a threat against RHP, which we don’t need. He was also a 28 year old rookie who was carried by an absurd BABIP for most of last year. Nice walk rate though. Mears is a nothing burger.

Oh, are we re-doing 2024?

I personally think KC did an amazing job getting a cheap 2.5-3 WAR OFer for an average at best AAAA reliever

If you believe that’s what he will be going forward.

 

[Enscheff]

It doesn’t really matter how good you think Collins is. KC got the 2 best players in a 3 player trade. It’s a very odd swap from the brewers who are usually extremely competent.

It's a decent gamble. But Collins isn't likely gonna be a 2-3 fWAR player.

But they gave up essentially nothing.

The nothing part is my point

Yeah but that GM is now with the Mets

What? It absolutely matters how good Collins is or any of these guys are. And I don’t think any of them move the needle at all.

It’s a nothing trade.

Maybe. Probably.

But the Royals still seem to have gotten by far the better end of the deal.

59 days until pitchers and catchers report. Today would be a good day for AA to upgrade the team's offerings at shortstop.
