Here's an up-to-the-minute pic of Teaford:

ROFL

Royals acquire Carlos Peguero from Mariners for PTBNL or cash.

Royals an OF from Seattle for AAA depth.

Some more context which makes this trade make more sense.

Both players are out of options. So, they both have to make their team or clear waivers. Teaford has zero chance of making it, while this OF has at least a slim chance if someone gets hurt.

Probably similar situation in Seattle where the OF they traded had zero chance but Teaford could make it for them.

The Royals acquire Carlos Peguero from Seattle? That seems like a really weak return in exchange for Bob Dutton.

Carlos Peguero is 6'5" 260lbs. If he can't make the Royals, maybe he can play TightEnd for the Chiefs.

Welcome to Hell, mother****er!

Teaford gets DFA'ed while on the road PROMOTING the Royals? Oh man, worst layoff timing EVER!

I saw a clarification that they did tell him at the hotel before they left for the event...but still...yeah. Such is the business of baseball.

Apparently this OF'ers wife stole over 180k from King Felixs wife with online purchases.

Hide your credit cards and shiiaat

wow, what a dumbass. This is apparently the story: Peguero's wife (Maria) was helping Felix's wife with online purchases since she didn't speak english well. Maria asked if she ever checked her credit card statements, and Felix's wife said no.

So, Maria thinks she's free to make a lot of purchases from Saks. Problem is, the billing address didn't match the shipping address and when you are buying THAT much when the addresses don't match, people are going to start calling the cardholder. When the stuff started coming in, Maria also lied to her husband saying she had a brother who worked at Saks. She's now up on federal charges.

I'm thinking Seattle started calling around saying "hey guys, Felix is really pissed so we either have to trade this guy or waive him, what will you offer", and we threw them a bone.

Update on Peguero, there is no PTBNL, we straight-up paid cash to Seattle for him.

Nellie's in Cameron is like an old fashioned truck stop. Like walking back in time when you enter it. Rep for the photo

Dayton said that he wanted to add another power bat to the mixup. What did he see that says "Power Hitter" about this dude?
