Mariano is almost 42. Joba and Phil Hughes have been hurt. As they prepare for the final stretch for the World Series, they could use a guy like Soria. Soria started out a little rough, but has come on strong. At 27 years old, Soria already has 145 saves (with the Royals). He's signed for the next three years, but the Royals would rather have solid starting pitcher prospects.

My question is what would the Yankees be willing to part with and would they be interested?

As a Royals fan, I think 2 prospects for a 2 time all star closer would be more than fair. The guys I would want would be Manny Banuelos and Dellin Betances. What do you think Yankees fans... Would you do it? Is that a fair trade?

I read today that a deal for Soria might include Yankee catching prospect Austin Romine. That would make sense since that is one of the few positions of need with their upcoming prospect group. I think its now or never for the Royals to deal Soria. He hits arbitration the next three years and is due big money. The Yankees would be happy to spend it if that gives them their closer for the next 10 seasons.
