The farm system clearly isn't as barren as Baseball Prospectus has made it appear so, there's a likelihood of them winning 81+ games in 2018 without their WS stars.

I think people keep assuming the farm is as barren as it was after the Baird era. It's not. Not even close. We have solid pieces that can allow us to have a relatively quick reload (rather than another decade long rebuild).
If we're 1-3 games back, I think the Royals should look to add contributing pieces (bullpen and off the bench help) and go for one last run.
If we're 5+ games back, I'll be a bit annoyed if the Royals hold steady, especially if Cain, Moose and Hos keep up their current production, driving up their value at the deadline.
