The Royals and Braves were engaged in trade talks this week involving right-hander Jair Jurrjens. Atlanta is willing to include infielder Martin Prado in the deal, but talks stalled when the Braves asked Kansas City to surrender minor-league outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Wil Myers. The Royals appear willing to deal Cain, but Myers is another story. Cain's path to the big leagues is blocked by the returning trio of Alex Gordon, Melky Cabrera and Jeff Francoeur. Although he is likely to return next year to Class AA Northwest Arkansas, Myers was picked recently by The Kansas City Star as the organization's best prospect.
