Royals get Johnny Cueto

[Quillback]

They may have found their top of the rotation starter for this year at least. They gave up Brandon Finnegan, who has a lot of potential, but I think that when you have a team that has a shot at the World Series, you have to fill that immediate need.

[GloryDaze]

Been listening to Royals fans cry about how much they will miss Finnegan? Honestly, what did he ever do to to actually make fans miss him?

I agree with you, your in the race, need to fill a hole, so you jump on the chance. No looking back either- no matter what happens, they improved the team and put theirselves in position to continue to win.

Congrats to management, nice to see such a big move.

Give away the young guys who have been your foundation and turned you into contenders for a barely above .500 pitcher with a 3.2 ish era? not a GREAT move by standards of a dynasty but hey, nothing wrong with TRYING to buy a series. viva la Marlins

[Jerry Rapp]

this is good for the Cardinals. After tonight, they play them 14 more times this season. That's probably 2 or 3 times they won't have to face him. Until the World Series.

Until the World Series.

Yep, you cardinal fans are so mean ?

see the royals got Zobrist from the Rays, thats an immediate upgrade over Infante at 2nd

[Quillback]

Yep, Infante has been a bit of a bust this year at the plate. So has Rios, and Zobrist plays OF also.
