Prospect
The Colorado Rockies have agreed to send this time prospects Jameson Hannah (CF), Robby Martin (LF), Helcris Olivarez (SP) as well as LF Sam Hilliard to the Kansas City Royals for LF Andrew Benintendi and SP Brad Keller.
The Rockies keep Hilliard in the trade as stated previously, they believe he deserves the chance to shine and while he's currently behind Ryan Vilade, by moving to KC he has the chance to start. The Rockies are also sending Jameson Hannah, a outfield prospect who plays a solid LF though his main position is CF, over as he is a big league ready prospect that that Rockies were ready to call up but there is just no space on their 26 man roster. Martin and Olivarez are prospects with a lot of upside that the Royals farm staff can mold into players of the future.
The Royals send Benintendi, a player in the last year of his deal and a player they have been trying to trade, and Keller over to the Rockies. The addition of Keller is due to the Rockies still looking for a solid 5th starter as veteran Yu Darvish has failed to live up to the hype in Colorado. The additions of the Hilliard and the prospects gives KC both a solid bat in Hilliard and solid glove in Hannah to replace Benintendi as well as give them depth for the future.
