Kansas City Royals receive:
MLB George Springer (CF,RF/HOU) CAP $5,000,000 for 2020 MILB Wil Crowe (SP/WAS) DEVE Josh Rojas (LF/ARZ) DEVE Josh VanMeter (1B,2B,LF/CIN)
Texas Rangers receive:
MLB Willy Adames (SS/TB) MILB Cristian Javier (SP,RP/HOU) MILB Alexander Mojica (3B/PIT) MILB Jeremiah Jackson (2B,SS/LAA)
Well, an era comes to an end for the Texas Rangers. George Springer was my 1st round selection in our inaugural draft for this league, when he was still a "Pup". He consistently put up numbers each year, and was instrumental In my lone championship in season #2. However, the Rangers arrived at the "Day of Reckoning", whereas tough decisions need to be made. I am sure Springer has many more years of high end production left, and I wish the Royals nothing but good fortune.
Crowe, Rojas, and Vanmeter should provide depth to the Royals in 2020 and beyond.
Willy Adames had a nice 2019, which I hope he can build on going forward. Wander Franco should be MLB ready within the next 2 years, so I hope that Adames can adapt maybe with additional positions, or maybe a complete change of scenery. I like what I see so far with Javier, although I am not sure whether he ends up as an SP or RP. Mojica and Jackson are still very young, and only time will tell how they develop.
Thank you your "Royal" Highness, and good luck in 2020 and beyond.

Aye. I've had Max and Stras and Stanton and they got hurt. So I stayed out of the Harper/Arenado bidding this year. But that doesn't mean I don't want a star player. Maybe Springer can turn my luck around there.

Damn I can't believe we have been doing this since 2014. Good for you for keeping Springer that long!

That is crazy that you were able to keep all those guys for this long.

It is funny how some players stay on one team and how many times Trout has been traded in this league.
