It's not about what they're getting in return. It's about the fact that he is the team leader, the best player on that team and nearly the only major leaguer they have. If they dump him, Royals fans will have 0 reason to watch the games.
Kotchman for Sweeney is more than enough for the Royals to except the trade, they're not going to get much more than that during the offseason.
"Except" a trade? I think you mean "accept".
Grammar police coming at ya!
