Forget cueto. Sign the rest.

They're not signing Cueto, and that's pretty obvious. We'll have to pay a ton for Gordon and Zobrist, but seems to me that we have to to make a serious push. We have about a two-year window to win another championship, and without those two, I don't like our chances at all.

I don't see it happening. The love is flowing right now, but after the passion rush wears off from the WS win, my guess is that he's going to leave KC and get paid. I'd do the same thing if I were in his shoes.

Zobrist and Morales are the 2 you must sign off that list...since Hosmer shouldn't even be on that list

Cueto - FA
Zobrist - FA Madson - FA Morales - Franklin Morales, not Kendrys, and yes, he's a FA Young - FA ++Gordon - $12.5MM Player Option for '16

I absolutely want Zo back. I'd like to have Cueto back, but someone is going to offer him a crazy amount of money.

What do you expect the starting rotation to be? Are there any stud prospects that are ready or are there any decent FAs available?

I'd think that sticking to last year's formula as it relates to pitching would be smart. Sign a Volquez type guy(a Mike Leake or comparable), hope(once again)that Ventura and/or Duffy take that next step but if they don't, go get a Cueto type at the deadline. Ventura and Duffy stepping up would be ideal but if they don't this year then I think it's time to put them in the "they are what they are" category

Gordon should be considered a free agent.
When determining who is a potential free agent, player options should always be ignored unless its for way more than he could ever get in the open market and its blatantly obvious that he will use it. Mutual options should also be ignored, since they are even less likely to be exercised than a player option.
