Royals trying to package Ian Kennedy, Wade Davis
The Kansas City Royals are looking to package pitchers Ian Kennedy and Wade Davis in a trade, with the Los Angeles Dodgers appearing to be "a strong match," reports Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.
What It Means:
As previously reported by Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, the Dodgers long for Davis in their bullpen, and would be willing to take on Kennedy's five-year, $70 million contract in order to acquire the services of the 30-year-old reliever. Kennedy has underwhelmed during his first season in Kansas City, recording a 4.41 ERA across 114 1/3 innings of work (20 starts).
Among the 157 relievers with at least 30 major league innings pitched this season, Davis ranks 13th with a 1.60 ERA (33 2/3 innings). However, he owns a 23.70 strikeout percentage this season, a significant dip from the 35.28 percent rate that he averaged the previous two seasons.
