It's possible that a couple of factors emerged that triggered such a decision.
One: the organization was married to playing MAT given his contract if they didn't trade him. Trading him let's the Royals have the flexibility to bring up talent when appropriate rather than when MAT is gone.
Two: injuries and spring training progress caused the Royals to adjust their timeline
I fail to see the bone to pick here.
