@getnickwright: #Royals fans: @mellinger doesn't typically just eviscerate folks like he does Glass here. To me, this means the front office is furious... https://twitter.com/mellinger/status/804681478890287104
http://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt...118370228.html @getnickwright: And, based on @mellinger's reporting, they have every reason to be. Glass penny pinching in the last year of the window is abominable... |

Re: Davis market... great news for the Royals and Dayton Moore. If they move him, the Royals will get a great return.
I don't think the 2017 version of the team is that far removed from your start of 2015-roster. With health and some bounceback from a few key guys (really Cain and Moustakas), this team can be good enough offensively. If Cuthbert is a workable 2B, which I doubt, that also helps the offense a ton. I'm not in favor of a fire sale. If they can move some guys who are about to be FA at the zenith of their values - Davis, for example - and get back pieces that help in 2017 and beyond, that makes sense. Just selling off a bunch of pieces for prospects doesn't make much sense to me. As far as trading Danny Duffy, that's the one that makes the least sense to me and the one that signals KC is tanking if he's moved. Any possible contention for KC in 2017 involves Duffy pitching an entire season like a frontline starter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's right. Either you go for 1 last glory run (my advice), or sell the whole damn lot. Trading off Davis and Duffy and maybe Dyson to keep the core makes no sense. |

my guess is Davis gets dealt to the cubs for two really good players, and Cain gets traded to the rangers.

Assuming the goal is to WIN IN 2017, it's hard for me to be enthusiastic about trading off Wade. Assuming he's healthy, he's fairly irreplaceable.
Herrera would be the closer, but he's no Wade. And then you have to replace Herrera's role with...Strahm? Pray that he comes back as effective as he was last year. And, he may be needed to start. Soria? JFC... Who else is there? Brain Flynn? Chris Young? Gulp. Prospects for Wade doesn't really help us for 2017. We need a good starting pitcher and some hitting production, to at the very least, replace Kendrys. |

I guess you always listen, but trading off someone who was a good starter when you're desperate for starting pitching seems like a weird idea.

On a side note, I think these baseball writers are so eager to write something big leading up to and during the winter meetings, that they'll tweet and report any rumor they hear, no matter how far-fetched or unsubstantiated.

Save that ammo for the trade deadline IMO. As long as we stay healthy, add some pieces in either a Wader or Cain deal this offseason. We will compete in 2017. I don't get all of this doom and gloom crap. Still a very good balllclub when healthy.

Duffy would have to fetch a ridiculous haul.
