And the Rangers will say yes, IMO. While there appears to be an outside chance that Mondesi is a Profar level prospect in a couple of years but he's not there yet. If the Marlins are looking to make a trade now, the Rangers will absolutely bite and have the best package to offer, IMO.
If the Rangers went to Profar, Scheppers and Ott for Stanton, the Marlins would take it and the Rangers should probably do it even at that sky-high price.
I just don't see the timing working out in KC's favor. Mondesi is way too young to project yet and nobody's going to give major value for him until he's beating up AA pitching at least.

I agree with all of this. Stanton would make WAY too much sense for the Rangers, and I bet they could pull that off for 2/3 you mention, plus another guy (Maybe Grimm).
The Royals' trade chips in the minors should be much more appealing at the end of the season than they currently are (one level closer for everyone).
