New York Royals / San Francisco Astros

[New York Royals (Brandon)]

The New York Royals agree to send:
     Carson Kelly, C (ARI)
     2020 Draft 6.04
to the San Francisco Astros for:
     Rights to Lance McCullers, P (HOU)
     2020 Draft 4.11

ROYALS LOGIC: It is tough to lose a valuable player at a premium position, but the thought of a healthy McCullers excites me (although a ways to go for him to prove his health) enough to take the risk. The draft pick was a nice consideration from Mario to help mitigate the concern. had no problem parting with one of my two 6th rounders to facilitate. Great working with Mario on this and I appreciate his patience. Best of luck to the SF Astros in 2020!

Thanks B! I need a catcher and I’ve already used my prospect tag. McCullers should come roaring back and at that price, could be a steal. Hope he pitches well..except when he faces me. Trade accepted.
