Trade Watch (It starts)

I'm guessing he really wasn't on our list...

List? We don't even have a list.

More so, to the people on here that want him. Figure of speech type of thing.

Rizzo: No bats for Nationals

I guess Zobrist can pitch then?

[Crazysilver03]

KC really going for it just like Oakland last year.

Oakland tinkered too much. And trade away part of what made them successful. KC hasn't really done that.

@ChrisCotillo: Zobrist market is robust. PIT, WSH, NYY, CHC, NYM have all been involved, in addition to KC.

Hah and some posters suggested he could be had cheaply. There was always going to be a bidding war over his services.

Went to KC

Went to KC

For...

@JeffPassan: Source: Ben Zobrist to Royals. Two pitchers going back to Oakland.

[MDK02]

Royals can't have many good young arms left in their system now. Championship or bust for them.

[Machado13]

@ToddZolecki: Sources: Papelbon or his agents talking to Nats about a potential trade. Issues to resolve: no-trade, being a closer and 2016 club option.

@JonHeymanCBS: manaea and brooks are believed to be the package for zobrist

[TonySoprano]

K.C. is getting him instead.

Their run differential is five off Baltimore's. I'd say Oakland is doing what it can to put together a competitive club on a tighter budget.

You don't know that. DD keeps things close to the vest.

@JimBowden_ESPN: Nationals continue to work on Papelbon; Cardinals continue to work on Adam Lind; Blue Jays continue to work on Latos/Haren; Tigers on Leake

They had 5 in the top 100 to start the season. They have traded two so still have some arms.

Wow I thought the Royals didn't want to give up Manaea for anyone.
