Agreed on Sal. There’s no reason to keep Sal when you aren’t going to do shit with this franchise for next 4 years anyway. His greatest trade value in the next 4 years is now.

You have to ****ing sell tickets in baseball. Salvy has more value for the Royals than any prospects he would fetch.

So great that they have zero postseason series wins.

Not really sure I'd blame him for that, his team has 2 ace pitchers and position players everywhere that are good...

Sometimes it just doesn't work out.

The myth that won't die^

We were 7 games over and leading the WC by 1 game on the July 31 deadline last year. We brought in the PadrAIDS and collapsed, but there was plenty of good logic to go for it one more year with our core. They'd earned the right

I was hoping for some decent returns at the trade deadline to speed up the rebuild. I guess that isn't happening. This is probably going to be another 6-7 year rebuild, which of course shouldn't have to be the case.

Exactly!

While I've heard this from a lot of Cardinals fans, and while they can develop pitchers much better and more consistently than the Royals, their payroll has fluctuated between #8 and #14 over the last ten years (with many of those years in the top 10)- the Cardinals lowest spending year was still higher than what the Royals have ever spent in their payroll a season (in terms of rankings) - that's a pretty considerable difference.

I will concede the Cardinals development is definitely better, but their financial flexibility can't be discounted when compared to the Royals system.

If the farm is so depleted.. then what's the point in even having guys like Soler and Mondesi?

The Royals had an opening day payroll of $140 million last year, which is higher than any year the Cardinals have had, save for 2017 and 2018. Are you referring to ranks?

Royals were 4th in % of revenue used in payroll last year. So we spend a ton.

We spent 143/250 in revenue, Cards spent 148/315

Yep. Ranks, I made the edit right before your reply.

I think Soler is an interesting case. We still have Mondesi under control until like 2023 so it's not like he couldn't develop with all these other guys in single A. There is zero reason to trade him unless you think you can get an amazing deal for some reason.
