@bleedcubbieblue: #Cubs trade target: Danny Duffy. Could the Cubs add the #Royals lefthander before the deadline? @royalsreview https://www.bleedcubbieblue.com/2018...source=twitter https://twitter.com/bleedcubbieblue/...912001/photo/1

Also someone noticed on Twitter that Duffy's bio doesn't have KC stuff on it anymore...not sure if that means anything.


Edit-He just changed his Twitter handle to duffman and said it wasn't anything to be concerned with.

Hopefully there will be a good offer

If we’re wondering why Herrera was dealt when he was, this could very well be the answer here.

That and I think they really liked Blake Perkins and the young arm they got for him.

Perkins is .280/.417/.383 with 8 SB in 150 PAs or so as a Royals prospect. Pair that type of profile with his defense, and you’ve got a potential above-average starting CF/leadoff man.

I'm sure you could have Tyler Chatwood.

And that's why we can't ****ing develop pitchers.

Not trying to go all CP in May("Jake Junis is a CY Young candidate!")but it's nice to see some of these young pitchers stepping up lately.

If not for Maurer we'd have a 5 game winning streak.

Welcome to Kansas City, Brian.

Yankees get more for their pen. Jesus

PB and Mecca will jump on board when the Royals win again and act like they never said anything about Moore. That's how most betas behave.

When we're finally winning again 4-5 years from now?

Undefeated the rest of the way.

They're just going to take the Royals strategy to the extreme. Starters need to go 3, bullpen will finish it out. They have 4 legit closers now, plus Green and Holder who are pitching just as well, if not better, than the other guys.
