Late Sunday night, the Tampa Bays Rays announced they were trading pitchers James Shields and Wade Davis to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for minor league prospects Wil Myers, Jake Odrizzi, Mike Montgomery and Patrick Leonard.
See how Myers and his new Rays teammates reacted to the news on Twitter.
Wil Myers
Wanted to thank the #Royals organization and fans for supporting me so much over the last few years. I'm excited to join @raysbaseball!

HATE..HATE to lose James and Wade. But this who we are. This is how we have to operate. Excited about the guys we are getting.
It's all still true...it was awesome being both wd's and big games teammates!! They will both be missed
Welcome @wilmyers! I live in the Raleigh area in the off season. Shoot me your number in a dm so we can get together before camp starts.
Just woke up and saw the WD-40 and juego G are now kc Royals?!? Holy frijoles!!
Def gonna take a few days to get past this WD and Juego G trade. Really gonna miss those guys. They'll always be teammates at heart.
