The Kansas City Royals brought home their first World Series title in three decades this past season, and a large part of the success they enjoyed was due to some big trades they made in the past few years.

Dayton Moore and the KC Royals have been involved in some pretty major trades over the past few seasons. All of these trades had a huge impact in getting our boys in blue to the World Series two years in a row, and winning it all in 2015.

Fans may not have agreed with these trades at the time. Fans might have been freaking out over losing some young promising prospects for guys we’d only have for a short period of time, but in the end, it worked out for the best. The Royals won a World Series thanks to these trades.

Let’s take a look at the biggest trades the Kansas City Royals have been involved in recent years.
