Kansas City Star reporter columnist Sam Mellinger tweeted about the Kansas City Royals interest in Kyle Schwarber on Tuesday:
In return, Kansas City was dangling reliever Wade Davis. The deal never had a chance to develop because Wade Davis injured his forearm and went to the disabled list just before the trade deadline.
Whether the swap ever really had a chance of happening or not really isn’t important. What’s significant is KC Royals general manager Dayton Moore’s thought process.
Schwarber is a 23-year-old lefty slugger without much talent in the field.
