You left off the "..and a WS appearance in 2014 and a WS Championship in 2015." You're also assuming a great deal with "two very good players" So, yes, I agree with Jimmer. At the time, felt the trade was a bold attempt at getting out of the ditch, and as we know...it worked. The goal shouldn't be to have the rookie of the year. The goal should be to win the WS. I bet there isn't one single person in the KC organization, or many KC fans, who regret that trade.
