The Rays, who have traded James Shields and Wade Davis to the Royals for a package that includes top prospect Wil Myers, rejected an earlier form of the deal.

Kansas City approached Tampa Bay about swapping Myers for Shields straight up, but the Rays passed.

In the final deal, the Rays sent Shields and Wade Davis to the Royals for Myers, pitchers Jake Odorizzi and Mike Montgomery and power-hitting Patrick Leonard.
