Giving up Shields and Davis for Myers and Odorizzi? Montgomery is a bust and Leonard is kind of an unknown. Feels like the Rays gave up a little bit too much proven talent in this one.

Personally I think this is a solid trade for both teams. Montgomery struggled the past couple years on his way to the bigs, but to say he is a bust may still be a bit too early to determine. Maybe this may be the move he needs to get back on track. Myers will replace Upton nicely. Ordonozzi is a nice piece too.

This will be one of those trades that will all depend on how Myers turns out.
For now, KC gets the proven. Long-term... who knows. Could be a Doyle Alexander-for-John Smoltz or Larry Andersen-for-Jeff Bagwell type of trade some day... TB has a hole with BJ Upton signing with ATL. And they have a strong staff. And they like to operate on a low payroll. Seems like a smart trade for both teams.

Classic Rays move right here. Heard something along these lines rumoured for a while now, good to see them finally pull the trigger and move some of their exorbitant pitching depth for a bat.

Good trade for both teams, Davis should get a chance to shine in Kansas City. Shields is a workhorse and a veteran ace, which the Royals have needed for some time.
Myers is pretty much a lock to start with the Rays now and many believe he is MLB ready. Odorizzi will get a chance to secure a job in the Rays rotation, but he'll have to battle with Chris Archer for that spot.

Good article from a baseball writer and Royals fan who thinks this was a terrible deal.

From the Royals perspective, it was either give up two prospects or give up Billy Butler.

Myers was a catcher earlier on, TB really needs a C... Maybe he can play a little bit of both OF and C. Perhaps even slot in at 1B or DH sometimes.
