This week, it was reported that the Kansas City Royals were “more open” to trading Whit Merrifield. This two-time league leader in hits, two-time leader in stolen bases, and incredibly versatile player would be a fit for any team looking to add offense before the end of next week. Fortunately, his name did appear in the latest New York Mets trade rumors as well.
