That's fine with me

should we care about losing any of these guys?

Great trade after that horrendous shit yesterday.

Will Klein has been up for a few games before. He didn't do too well.
[Reply]

Will Klein had just been recalled to the MLB club following the injuries to Shrieber and Harvey, so I assume he opens the spot for Erceg.

Barnett was the Royals' Minor League Pitcher of the Year last year

Loftin headed back to Omaha, probably for DeJong? Won't they still need to open up a spot on the 40 man?

Hasn't been good this year though.

Today the #Royals reportedly acquired RHP Lucas Erceg ($8.5M surplus trade value) from the #Athletics in exchange for RHPs Mason Barnett ($2.7M) and Will Klein ($2.4M) and OF Jared Dickey (not yet in system).

Deal is tentatively accepted by our model, pending Dickey's addition.

Lucas was the As top setup up man...who is our closer now?

Erceg will be pushing it to make tonight's game:

Royals fans: you’re getting a dude who will do ANYTHING to win a baseball game. A guy who will pitch ANYWHERE at ANY ATIME for HOWEVER long he’s asked. He has great stuff & is a COMPETITOR. I will root for Lucas wherever he goes. KC fans, you’ve got a good one. Take care of him.
