I remember exactly where I was when the Kansas City Royals traded Wil Myers. It was December of 2012, and I was in the midst of studying for my fall semester finals in my senior year of college. I remember having a conversation about the Myers trade with the only other Royals fanatic in my friend group. Neither of us liked it; Myers was the best prospect in baseball, the future of the Royals, and to see him traded along with Jake Odorizzi for a good-but-not-great starting pitcher with only two years of team control seemed silly. That the Royals were also getting some guy named Wade Davis in return was no consolation.
