I would trade Moose for a Wacha type in a heartbeat. Since hitting has been so tough to come by, we ought to be able to get good value for Moose.

By "Wacha-type," I hope you mean someone better than Michael Wacha.
Wacha is OK, but he's really a two-pitch guy and has an injury history/bad shoulder. I don't think he'd more of a difference maker for the 2017 Royals than Moustakas.
