The story is, of course, why? It has a heart-warming feel.

Some three-way trade action: This is a very interesting trade. White Sox Joakim Soria LHP Luis Avilan +$3million 2million from LA 1million from KC LA gets LHP Scott Alexander INF Jake Peter KC gets RHP Tyler Oaks INF Erik Mejia The Royals gain 9million in cash by trading Soria. This looks like a good formula for a Hanley trade.

This looks like a good formula for a Hanley trade. How so? Soria is a useful piece, who will probably close for the White Sox and then be used as a trade chip mid-season, if not sooner, to bring back something of value. No one is trading for Hanley unless we cover like 75% or more of the $22M he's owed, in exchange for nothing of value. Or if we take on a similar bad player/contract. It's not just that he's a minimal value DH type -- he has a vesting option for $22M in 2019 if reaches 497 plate appearances this season.

This is question for debate. The interesting part is the money in this deal. In a Hanley trade if you eat 3/4 of his salary and get a fringe prospect back you've gained a lot more than what see on paper.
1. You lose the 2019 option year 2. You don't have the pressure of your rookie manager having to keep Hanley's at bats in check in 3. You don't have a angry Hanley sitting on the bench disturbing the rookie manager and your young core. 4. You have that other 1/4 of Hanley's money to save to sign a player who is looking to prove himself to a one year contract.
This is all speculation I know I'm not a worthy source. But just saying?

Jason Wood, the agent of Andrew Benintendi, has been accused of recording players in the showers.
This is the kind of stuff we get to talk about this off-season. Enjoy!!!

Or maybe he will go to jail and this will be the only thing we are left talking about news worthy of today.
