Bobby Witt Jr. will be in Kansas City for several years, thanks to a new long-term contract that will make him a multi-millionaire. But before a deal was signed, they may have been considering all of their options, including trading their young phenom in a blockbuster deal.
An idea for a trade was at last contemplated, according to Marlins beat writer Craig Mish at the Miami Herald. Mish reports that the Royals at least considered a swap that would have sent Bobby to Miami for their top pitcher.
Before the end of last season, the Marlins and Royals briefly discussed a trade concept that would have sent rookie pitcher Eury Pérez to the Royals for Bobby Witt Jr.
