You have to do better IMO. Not every deal needs to be a steal value-wise to be a good move.
Kila is 26 and the Royals don't think hes good enough to crack their lineup. Hes essentially their Michael Wilson. Hes gettable.
Seth Smith is blocking the Rockies' top CF prospect. Hes not going to be nearly as easy to get as when I suggested targetting him in the offseason, but hes potentially avaialble for the right price.
Gordon is another clear target and their are others.
Acquiring Branyan lacks creativity, it lacks vision, and frankly is just not what I've come to expect from Z.
