KC Royals Trades:
Marcus Stroman FA SP (KC will pay 35% of contract remaining)
Taijuan Walker PHI SP (KC will pay 35% of contract remaining)

I accept.
Enjoyable back & forth to get this one done. I wanted Stroman & Walker off the books; this gets 65% of their numbers off the books. I like Gonzo a lot as a hitting prospect. Very well rounded approach; eager to see his development. Curry is a young solid arm I like. Hinds a young power threat. Picks on Picks on picks... allows me to re-mold my milb team more to my liking, as a new Manager.
Pleasure working with Seattle. Best of luck, & cheers.

[Mariners GM (Jeff)]

Mariners confirm. Is this an overpay? Sure. I did not want to mess with the SP market in free agency, due to my limited budget. Gonzalez is a stud, but I am not convinced in him yet. Maybe I will regret this move, but I am really happy to land some solid pitching depth.
