I won't argue with that either. I'm very happy with what Glass has invested in the team. However, my point is that the Cardinals have regularly outspent the Royals since the end of the strike.

The Cards should be lauded for their scouting and development, but I don't think their ability to spend is an even comp for the Royals.

How do you all feel about the return you got for Herrera? Seems kind of anemic to me.

We're in for some rough years.

How do you feel about the Cards not beating an anemic trade?

It all comes down to our scouting. If two of the players are productive contributors in the Majors by 2020-2021, it's a huge win.

It could also be the second coming of the Johnny Damon trade. Expect something similar to the end of the Baird era if it ends up being a similar return.

I hate it. Dumbasses on Twitter seems to love it.

Prison Bitch is pissed because you cant trade vets for prospects because of the bust factor

I wouldn't want them to buy anything this year. They aren't good.

Understatement of the decade. These are going to be Buddy Bell type teams, but without Zach Greinke type talent awaiting to blossom in the rotation.

Jim Bowden hates the trade from the perspective of the return we got. We got ****ed on this trade.

You're 1 game back of Wash

I feel like this is all we were going to get for 3 months of a reliever, also wonder if the Royals had some concern about his arm.

Never forget his trade idea from 2013:


Royals acquire: P Bud Norris, 2B Jose Altuve, 1B/OF Chris Carter

Astros acquire: OF Bubba Starling, SS Orlando Calixte, C Cameron Gallagher, 2B Johnny Giavotella, P Sam Selman, and P Jason Adam

From the Royals perspective, this is probably the most encouraging review of the trade you could post. I would trust Dayton Moore over Jim Bowden 105 times out of 100.

Jim Bowden is a dumb ****. He is the CoMo of MLB analysts.
