San Diego Royals/ Detroit Cardinals Trade

[Deleted]

The San Diego Royals will trade:

1) 2nd round 2022 Minors pick

The Detroit Cardinals will trade:

1) Julian Merryweather - RP - TOR - "0 Dollars" for 2021

-My reasoning is that I was in the hunt for a closer this year.  My top closer, Kirby Yates was lost early this year with Tommy John surgery.  I like the potential that Merryweather might bring to the table this year.  Giving up a 2nd round minors draft pick was tough, but that is the price you need to pay for a closer.  Trade talks were easy with Brian.  I wish him luck this year.

Agreed. Though I do like Merryweather, the offer of a 2nd rounder was too much to pass up. Relief pitchers are a volatile commodity so I wanted to take the potential upside of a 2nd round pick. Good luck to Chuck this year also.
