I just think they can win in 2014 without him.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Kelvin Herrera is again the superior reliever this year. KC's bullpen crew is so deep, and Moore has such a good track record with building the bullpen, Hochevar is expendable. Just like any reliever except elite closer types.

Even if they traded Hochevar, they'd still be looking at RH setup crew options that include:

Kelvin Herrera
Louis Coleman
Aaron Crow

Possibly Wade Davis
Possibly Yordano Ventura
