Bobby has been getting better each month. Unless you are just doing Prison Bitch drive by stat posting.

Trade him then. No one on this team should be protected from being traded.

Yet offensively he's worse than he was last year...

18 months ago every publication out there had the top 3 prospects as Rutschman, Rodriguez and Witt and the order depended on the writer they were that close..

And 18 months later Witt is trailing them pretty significantly as an MLB player, why is that?

You just spouting shit off again. Look at Julio Rodriguez vs Bobby Witt for this year.

You want to trade a young, talented, controlled guy in the midst his second season who has 4 more years control AFTER this one? And is a potential superstar? Just because? I mean I get the nobody is untradeable stance, but you dont trade a potential star like that, just because you might get something in return. He could break out and be a star in 2-3 years with REAL value. We are in full rebuild and replenishment. His potential value down the road could be exponentially increased. These are the players you need, not to dump. He is showing improvement, let in play out, in my opinion.

Yes because the first half of this year is the only comparison...lets not mention that Rodriguez shit all over Witt for the entirety of last year.

So far for their major league careers Witt is trailing behind the other 2. Shit to this point Gunner Henderson is a better MLB player.

I'd listen depending on the offer...no one should be untouchable on a team this bad.

Witt has gotten better both offensively (a very little) and defensively (a little more). But he sure does not look to be a generational talent. Rutschmann and Julio Rodriguez would be preferred, and it's not even close. I don't even know how you could debate otherwise with a straight face.

There stats from last year were about the same as well. Bobby had more hits, doubles, triples, RBIs, and stolen bases. Rodriguez beat him on home runs. Witt had a rough shitty year defensively as a rookie.

And Witt's stats compared to Rutschman's are pretty much the same as well. Bobby beat him in most stat categories in 2022 as well. Rustchman takes more walks and doesn't strike out.

I can't envision a trade where it makes sense for KC to actually move Bobby Witt. I'm not sure what a team would be giving up to get him.

Teams don't make the type of mistakes they would have to be willing to make to offer enough for him. The computers don't let it happen.

Witt, Rodriguez, and Rutschmann all have very similar stats this year. Not debating the other two aren't better than Witt right now, but the comment that "it's not even close" is off base.

???

Rodriguez was 6.0 WAR and Rutschmann 5.2 WAR. Along with both their better offense than Witt Jr, they have shown to be fantastic defenders at their position.

This year, knucklehead.

With the current state of the organization, there is no way the Royals will be competitive in the 4 years remaining of Witt's team control. If trading him brings in a haul that will shorten the timeline towards competitiveness, go for it. If that type of return is not there, then I agree, let it play out.
