"The return is not yet known, although earlier reports had the two teams discussing
Sean Manaea, Bubba Starling, and possibly Christian Binford. There are rumors this morning Brandon Finnegan may have replaced Manaea in the deal however."

Nice deal for KC!

Cinncy seems to be in the same spot Philly was in a couple years back when you have to decide whether to make one more run with the Vets or break it up. RA2 chose wrong...:(

Execs from teams interested in pitching have not received word from #Reds that Cueto is still available, sources tell [MENTION=11748]ken[/MENTION]_Rosenthal and me.

A little surprised they gave up Finnegan, he seemed very promising but makes sense to go all in this season

Way too much for the Royals to give up for a rental. Not to mention that he threw over 240 innings last season, which was just one of two seasons for him to pitch over 200 in his career. Not sure that speaks to a fresh arm in the playoffs, which I think the Royals had in what they gave up. Thumbs down here.

Going back to 2010 he's a Top 5 pitcher in the NL.

Royals needed to make a push and can't let their window close.
