I think DaWolf hit the nail on the head--as soon as Boras announced Damon wouldn't even sign a long-term deal this year with a team he got traded to, he really hurt KC's baragaining power. He goes from a possible cornerstone of your team to a possible rent-a-player.
I don't know how a player could give up a LT contract with the possible (more than likely) work stoppage coming up. Seems to risky to me.
