Not sure how the Sox are involved in that deal at all.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Minor leaguers also involved in trade - #Dodgers, #WhiteSox, #Royals each getting one, per source.

Dayton unloads Soria on a division rival. Great move.

@JeffPassan: If nothing else, Royals clearing $10M in Soria salary and buyout gives them slight payroll clearance if they’re serious about going into the mid-$100M range for Eric Hosmer. Scott Alexander was really good last year, though. The 70% GB lefty reliever is awfully valuable.

I'd call that a sell-high on Alexander but isn't that lateral at best with a salary dump?
Kinda seems like the best case scenario for Oaks is that he becomes a right-handed Alexander, which makes him a little less valuable in his own right. Burning a reliever with 5 years of control left so you can dump a year of salary seems penny wise and pound foolish... |

Did the Royals just give up 5 years of control on Alexander to lock up Eric Hosmer?
