ROYALS REEL IN RELIEVER SCHREIBER
The Kansas City Royals acquired pitcher John Schreiber from the Boston Red Sox for pitcher David Sandlin.
What does it give the Kansas City Royals
The Royals are getting a proven reliever in Schreiber, so expect him to become part of the setup group in Kansas City. He might even get a chance to become the team's closer. He is a solid addition to a team that needs bullpen help.
What does it give the Boston Red Sox
It is a bit surprising that the Red Sox parted ways with Schreiber as spring training gets under way, but they added a solid starting pitching prospect in Sandlin. The latter could become a candidate to join the rotation this time next year.
Fantasy impact
This seems like a trade where everybody wins. Schreiber's fantasy fortunes may improve if given more save chances in Kansas City. Sandlin is on the fantasy keeper radar, so he could be a draft candidate in very deep leagues.
