When the Kansas City Royals traded Kelvin Herrera for outfielder Blake Perkins, third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez, and RHP Yohanse Morel, it was still early. It was thought that after this trade between the Royals and the Washington Nationals, the market would move much more rapidly than it did last year. That hasn’t really been the case.
But, another reliever just went off the market. Saturday, it was announced that the New York Mets had traded reliever Jeurys Familia to the Oakland A’s. In return, the Mets received prospects, Triple-A right hander Bobby Wahl and an A ball third baseman in Will Toffey.
