Bay Area local, financially cheap and potential to pick up where he left off last year..What do ya'll think it would take to net him? I'm guessing Matos, Rayner Arias and lower level SP prospect like Yunior Marte..
Sign Bellinger plus Pete Fairbanks and I'm good..

I think we got Yunior Marte from them — but agree would be a good pick up. Package may not be enough though. They want to win now, not sure Matos provide the Offense they’d want to give away a SP
Matos has minimal trade value
hehehe boob itch…
Yes on Bubic, no on Bellinger.
I’d love bubic but why would royals trade him? The AL central is the one division where every yr it’s seemingly wide open
Don’t see how we get him given the headline is ‘as they seek outfield help’. Matos would not move the needle.
Report on Royals sounds like Giants. Strong pitching, weak outfield.
Meh, I think there are better targets. Dude was the benefit of some really good luck to put up career numbers as a starter last season. He struck out less batters on average, but his BABIP and HR% were way lower than his career averages and everything else was in line or even higher than average for him. That’s a dude who is absolutely due for some regression to the mean.
If they can get him for a song, why not? Otherwise, I’d rather go for someone who is likely to continue putting up solid numbers than trying to get a guy like this and hoping he can catch lightning in a bottle twice
For Duran? Seriously?
“However, according to Rosenthal, the Red Sox’s asking price has been too high for Kansas City, with the Royals believing they would have to include ace Cole Ragans to land Duran.”
