The trade which sent Trevor Cahill, Ryan Buchter, and Brandon Maurer to the Royals has been getting a lot of attention lately. The move made sense for both clubs, as Kansas City currently sits 1.5 games back of the AL Central lead and holds the second American League Wild Card, and could use a little bit of extra pitching that the Padres could provide.
In exchange, San Diego acquired Travis Wood, Matt Strahm, and 18-year-old infield prospect Esteury Ruiz.
With a trade of this magnitude, we caught up with Kings of Kauffman, the FanSided site devoted to the Kansas City Royals.
