Royals fans (and Kelvin Herrera) are sad that Wade Davis has been traded
It happened.
The Royals on Wednesday traded closer Wade Davis to the Chicago Cubs. Davis was a massive part of the Royals’ two World Series appearances and he ended the 2015 World Series championship with a strikeout.
Fans loved him and so it was bittersweet news when the first report surfaced that a deal was in place and then after it was finished. Heck, even a teammate said goodbye.

There's dominance and then there is what Wade Davis did for 3+ yrs. I'll love you forever, Wade!

Wade's truly a perfect microcosm of this KC run. He struggled, but always showed signs of potential. And then.. Pure, unbridled dominance.

Wade Davis will forever be a Royals legend, that is for sure.

Wade still going to be a Royals HOFer. He's had arguably as much impact on any Royal has had on the franchise in 4 years time.

Thank you Wade Davis. The disappointing starter that turned into an All-Star closer and was part of the best bullpen in MLB History #Royals

Peace Out Wade Davis. You completed the Wil Myers trade. I will forever love you. #WORLDSERIESCHAMPS #ForeverRoyal

The Wade Davis Experience moves to Chicago. I'm sad about this even if it's the right thing. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
