The blockbuster trade that never was that affected MLB for a decade

In a recent discussion, former Royals GM Dayton Moore disclosed a missed opportunity for a significant trade in 2013, where he was offered Jose Altuve in exchange for Eric Hosmer. This call from Astros GM Jeff Luhnow occurred while Moore was at Starbucks. Ultimately, Moore declined the trade, favoring to keep major-league talent. Both teams would go on to experience remarkable success, with the Astros winning multiple championships and the Royals clinching their own title in 2015, highlighting how the trade could have shifted both franchises' fortunes.
