Twitter reacts to Royals trading Whit Merrifield

The Royals made a perhaps-unsurprising deadline move on Tuesday, sending longtime infielder Whit Merrifield to the Toronto Blue Jays right at the buzzer. The move signals a significant change for the Royals, who have relied upon Merrifield to be in the lineup every day – almost quite literally – for close to the last decade. The team's clearly looking to get younger and focus on the newest core of talented prospects, but after the news broke on Tuesday afternoon, Royals Twitter still had plenty of things to say about the trade.
