Adalberto Mondesi is being traded to the Red Sox, per source. The Royals will receive Josh Taylor in exchange, while Boston will also receive a player to be named later.
When requesting a trade (like Deebo Samuel has, though not guaranteeing move) you always garner feedback from the market. Regarding the #Chiefs, a league source told me while Samuel is regarded as highly talented, the team is not actively pursing him currently*, focused on Draft.
Initial reaction to the MVS signing is that KC has no shining star at the position, but there are enough viable options (with a 1st round pick to be added) that opposing defenses’ attention can no longer be pinpointed on one guy. That can be a positive.
The #Chiefs are signing former #Packers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a three-year, $30 million deal with $18 million in the first two years and incentives to reach a maximum of $36 million, his agents @NSAFootball tell @RapSheet and me. 💰💰
The fact that the earliest pick is the 29th is just wild(ly bad).
It means you still have no avenue to top tier of pass rushers or receivers barring trading up, which then reduces the size of the haul you got for Hill.
Another blockbuster coming? Despite an offer from the #Chiefs that would make superstar Tyreek Hill one of the highest-paid receivers, extension talks have stalled and Kansas City has now given Hill’s agent permission to seek a trade, sources tell me and @TomPelissero.
