This angle isn't getting enough play.
That said, DM is still dumb as ****.

And as I said before, if Dayton made this move based on some kind of handshake deal with Glass that Glass would spend more money if Moore would field a "more competitive" team, not only does the trade make sense for the here and now but it's also protecting the future.
Trading away Myers hurts, but if trading Myers means somehow that the overall spending budget goes up in future years, it's absolutely worth it.
We've done the $40M budget thing. Myers really isn't all that different than Moose, Gordon, or Hos. We've been down this route, now we're trying something different.
This is the Royals equivalent of the Chiefs drafting a 1st round QB.
