Just doing what that one who sucks the penis Dayton Moore should have been doing the past several years.

So can they get some team to take Hunter Dozier?

This is like bizarro world. Mondesi is the type of player the Royals always trade for, not trade away. A guy with all the physical tools who just hasn't put it together, has off field problems, or in this case, can't stay healthy.

Probably too expensive for Sherman.

Get ready...

They're gonna attach Scott Barlow to Dozier to get rid of that contract..which means they'll get a minimal return.

Chapman has apparently been promised a shot at closing and if you just remove Barlow from that after 2 years of doing it..and what that could do to his value of being paid...yea.

All the guys the bitchers wanted to be gone, they are getting rid of. But the bitchers are now bitching because we didn't hold on to them to trade them.

Barlow is now in the role that the Indians used Andrew Miller in. Come in high level situations not just to close.

Who will the Royals plug in in his place to play those 3 games?

If you take the dude who lead the team in saves for 2 years and say you're giving his role to a new guy...right before he's a FA that is gonna cause problems.

Barlows getting traded.

I was reading last year that Mondesi was a legit non-tender candidate. He isnt worth the post-arb salary, was the logic. Just not worth paying the money he requires for what he can contribute.

For the Royals to get anything for him is a win.

With cleaning house of Mondesi and O'Hearn, Dozier is now fine in his utility role playing some 1B, 3B, and corner outfield spots a couple games a week. Expensive utility guy given his production, but given the payroll, it's fine...

This team doesn't seem all that interested in paying anyone at the moment.

That is a fair question.
