Because Kansas City.

At least we have the Chiefs. FML.
I'd much rather get rid of Moore at the end of this year with assets still in place than get rid of him at the end of next year with fewer assets still in place. All I'm saying.

A good GM could do things quickly with what he's inheriting after this season, if brought in.

Two under-25 SP who have proven to be front-line type starters (Duffy and Ventura)
A tremendous under-25 catcher who is a GG defender and plus bat, and is signed long-term, and for peanuts
Great defenders who can be above-average contributors offensively at SS and CF (also under 30 and controlled for several years)
A star-level LF

A top 10-ish farm system with a lot of high-upside arms (Zimmer, Finnegan, Manaea, Almonte, Pedro Fernandez)
