This is a rumor, Royals maybe open to trading Witt In the not so distant future. 
 

what would be the ask?

Pena, Fischer, Burke, Quero Payne and Henderson or Letson get it done??

I’ve seen the chatter, and first, no, I think there’s absolutely nothing to it. Witt is a cornerstone player for the Royals. They signed him to an 11 year extension and are building around him. I don’t think they are going to move away from that just because they aren’t good right now. 

But to play along, no, that wouldn’t get it done. Made and Pena are both gone, foregone conclusion. Then maybe Lara, Fischer, and Bishop Letson.  So a 5 prospect package of all high end prospects.

If we were lucky. He’s that valuable.

I would very seriously doubt they would trade him. He is 25 with a very reasonable contract through 2037 potentially. He is likely a 7-10 WAR player for a long time. After Shohei and Judge he is the best player in the league, with his age probably the most valuable long term. I would do terrible things to get him outside of Made and Chourio. It would take more than the Juan Soto deal in my opinion. 

Pena, Pratt, Fischer, Josh A, Henderson, Sproat, and Yoho would be close off the top of my head. To be honest I would let them take 2 pitching prospects with that offer and let them swap out Quero, Dinges, Burke, or Payne for any of the position guys.

He has an opt out so not nearly as much control as you would think. We would have to give up Made ++ for sure to have a chance.
