I’ve been looking for MLB pieces to help me compete. Giving up two picks in the top 32 picks of this deep draft will hurt my farm but you got to pay up to get better. Great talks Bill!

[Royals GM (Bill)]

I accept. With IFAs included in this year’s draft, I’ll take all of the early picks that I can get. Love Mullins but he’s wasted on my rebuilding team, the BP arms are expendable with my FA adds and I’m not sure what Kelenic will become but I’m willing to move hum to build for the future. Nice dealing Kyle.
