Farnsworth to Royals?

Found December 04, 2008 on Eli's MLB Rumors:
PLAYERS: Kyle Farnsworth,  Leo Nunez,  Joakim Soria,  Ramon Ramirez
TEAMS: Kansas City Royals,  New York Yankees

According to Ken Rosenthal, the Royals may pursue free agent reliever Kyle Farnsworth. Farnsworth, who is from Wichita, is the type of reliever the Royals need. They traded away Leo Nunez and Ramon Ramirez, and need to bring in a setup man to bridge the gap between the middle innings and Joakim Soria. Farnsworth was 2-3 with a 4.48 ERA in 61 games for for the Tigers and Yankees, and may be intrigued by a playing for a rising team in the same division. Not only that, but Royals pitching coach Bob McClure has had success with hard throwing relievers, making Kansas City a serious possibility for Farnsworth.A
Farnsworth, 32, is looking at a three year deal worth 5-7 million dollars annually.A

Daryl Thompson To Louisville?

Via Dunn and Dunner  |  May 24, 2008
With Justin Lehr gone to Korea there is now a rotation spot open in Louisville. The Bats already replaced Lehr's roster spot with Ramon Ramirez which is odd considering he spent a lot of last year as a reliever and he's not exactly having a good season this year posting a 4.74 era in 9 games as a starter. Id have to imagine that he's not going to AAA to be a starter so that leaves...

Here's a quick breakdown of the trade: Boston: Receives right-handed reliever Ramon Ramirez (2008: 2.64 ERA, 70K and 31 BB in 71.2 IP) Kansas City...

According to the Boston Globe, Ramon Ramirez could be dealt in another trade to help the Red Sox land a catcher.
