Things get a little hot in the Al Central



Things were heated last week between GM of the Twins William Heaney (Right) and GM of the Royals Big Mikey Sweet (Left). The words started when Heaney inquired about KC's DP's for sale. Sweet told Heaney that he had two separate offers in the works for the picks (KC's 2nd-6th 22nd overall) and would be receiving $ 15 mil cash for all 5 picks. Heaney then offered sweet $16 mil cash for all 5 picks which Mike countered with $20 Mil for all 5. Heaney then countered with $ 17 Mil for all 5 picks telling the Royals that was the max the Twins could afford. Mike countered with $18 mil and RP Nathan Eovali. After the last offer from Sweet the sparks began to fly as Heaney told Sweet that his last offer was worse then the offer before. Heaney continued to say he did not want a useless RP who was still owed $5.04 Mil for the rest of the year. Sweet took offense to Will calling Eovali useless and thought he is still a solid pitcher. Mike also told Will that because he was in the same division he would have to pay a premium for the picks. Heaney told Mike that he felt the extra $ 2 mil he would receive was more then enough to composite for being in the same division and that Mike should take the best offer for his team. Then yesterday things got worse as we caught up with Heaney and he had this to say " Mike is a gutless GM with absolutely no respect for his peers. I don't know how he gets away with the way he runs his club over there in KC". Later Sweet shot back with this " The way i run my team ha, ask Will how many trips to the playoffs he has made since taking over the Twins". Later in the day Heaney replies to Mike comments "All that guy does is just piss people off, Ask DJ GM of the Astros and see what he thinks of Mike ? Mike let hes team get old fast and will now pay the price for his reckless managing." Heaney also added "We will see who will finish atop the AL central, i guarantee you it will not be the Royals". The next time these 2 teams face eachother is May 4th for a small 2 game series. We will see how hot things will get when the Royals come to town.
