Nick covered the trade here that brought Trevor Cahill, Brandon Maurer, and Ryan Buchter to the Kansas City Royals. It at first appeared that Cahill would take up the fifth spot in the rotation. Now he may occupy a role of swingman, one he has had success doing in the past.
Buchter was another solid addition to the Kansas City Royal bullpen. He also comes with team control beyond 2017 which is a plus.
Now a mere 24 hours later rumors are surfacing that Dayton Moore could potentially still be in the market for a SP.
