After a 99-day transaction freeze, we finally have some baseball trades to talk about. The Royals haven’t been involved yet, but they may have some moves to make before the season opener on April 7 against Cleveland.
One possible move may be a trade of Adalberto Mondesi. The enigmatic shortstop has lost his starting job to Nicky Lopez after missing most of last season with two separate oblique injuries and a hamstring injury. Those injuries were just part of a long history of stints on the Injured List for the 26-year old. Even when he is healthy, he disappears for weeks at a time only to hit like an MVP candidate for short spurts.
