Arizona D'Backs sends: Emaarion Boyd PHI (OF) (Prospect) Cody Bradford TEX (P)
KC Royals sends: Pick 2.21 in this upcoming draft
I accept. I like Boyd as a burner; he's pure speed & seems to have good plate recognition which I'm hoping helps him get on base regularly to show off those wheels. Hoping he can get on base consistently enough to make it in the Majors at some point. Bradford was solid last season, & provides some young depth in the bullpen. I still have a lot of openings on my Active roster, so thought taking him on would save me a spot to fill in FA. Pick 2.21 seemed like a reasonable ask, as both guys are flyers. I still have two 1sts & two 2nds to play with.
Pleasure talking trade with Sam. I enjoyed our back & forths! Best of luck.
**Boyd will slide into KC's MILB roster**

Confirmed! I like this draft class so I wanted to get another piece of it. Bradford was solid for the Rangers in the postseason and seems like he could be a nice piece in their bullpen, but this also helps me free up some roster space for more additions. Thanks to Jonathon for the trade talks, good luck to him and his team!
