The Kansas City Royals have placed a high price on Wade Davis in trade talks.

The Royals are valuing Davis like the lights-out reliever he was in 2014 and 2015, but he has seen a regression this season.

In talks with the Washington Nationals, sources indicate the Royals asked for Lucas Giolito, one of baseball's top prospects.

Davis is under contract for just $10 million next season.
