At this point, the Kansas City-St. Louis trade fit is arguably the most talked about offseason storyline among the Royals faithful.
The Cardinals entered the offseason with a need for starting pitching, which the Royals happen to have an abundance of currently. Then, the Royals entered the winter months with a need to upgrade at second base and in the corner outfield, and St. Louis happens to have the ultimate trade piece in utility man Brendan Donovan who's potentially available.
It seemed to be a match made in heaven.
However, the offseason moves fast and the Cardinals GM Chaim Bloom has wasted no time getting their rebuild started in his first winter in charge after trading veteran starting pitcher Sonny Gray to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.
