Glass needs to sell the team. The stadium is paid for and the Royals are locked in for 20 years. Now is the time for fans to start boycotting. This won't happen though because if you look at Kansas City overall (not just the sports scene) this ****ing town loves mediocrity.

If Glass will commit to having a league-average payroll, this team can win (and by "win" I mean a WS) with a high-quality GM.
People just don't realize or want to acknowledge how bad DM is at his job.
"But the farm system! Latin America!" Yes, in terms of amateur talent the Royals have--gasp!--operated like a real ML franchise under DM, but he gets limited credit for this. This isn't a "DM thing"; it's a "Glass was forced to do something thing."
Moore is really, really, really bad as a GM. This is nothing new. I pounded the shit out of this drum several seasons ago when he acquired Betancourt (for the first ****ing time) so much so that I annoyed myself.
Everything else is ancillary, which is why it's laughable to bitch about Yost, the pen, starters, etc. It begins and ends with DM, and he's a ****ing idiot.
