He's our starting DH next year.

What will happen: Dozier will be DFA

I thought it was a risky move for them to put Shaw at 2B, but apparently they're thinking of putting Moose there too.

baseaball law states that if moose plays second 55 balls come directly to him

Reminds me of the Teahen experiment.

I was going to bring that up but then I would have to think about those teams.

Sold John Jay high. He's dropping a huge fart-bomb on AZ



Royals: 266PA 73h .307/.363/.374 104 wRC+
D-bags: 178PA 36h .229/.315/.331 79 wRC+

So are we done trading until the offseason now?

Moore has previously targeted 2021 for when the Royals likely could push for the playoffs, but he has steadfastly refused to purposefully tank. Despite that, the Royals’ record this season is indicative of a team not trying to win.

But Moore clearly doesn’t want triple-digit-loss seasons. The Royals drafted a cadre of college pitchers and traded Mike Moustakas for players who could help the team sooner rather than later.

That would be the case if another team came calling for Duffy or Merrifield after the season.

“If we end up moving any of our players like that, that we have under control that are of value to us,” Moore said, “it’ll be something we look at in the offseason and how can we get back major-league talent to help us win more games in 2019 and 2020.”



This seems like a huge mistake to me. If they hold on to Merrifield and Duffy simply to win a few more games next year when we won't contend, how can that be supported by anyone? And if they trade them for near major league ready talent, how is that any different than the Beltran trade getting Teahen, Buck, and Wood? Rushing the rebuild is a huge mistake IMO. I really hope Moore isn't that dumb.

I'm fairly impressed with the re-stock, actually. IF any of the pitching pans out, in this division, it's possible that they could be competitive next year with a little luck. Not likely, mind you, but possible. They're adding a lot of speed and defense. The offense is coming along. It's really the pitching that's still the dumpster fire.

There is literally no way they are anywhere close to being competitive next year lol

They would need a miracle in the pitching department.. position wise they wouldnt be bad.

You can build around that. Lopez probably comes up next year.

I remember my first beer.

Dayton Moore is desperately trying to not lose fans, that's what all that is about.

Is tanking better in the long run? Probably but he's also been here for so long maybe he thinks if they suck for 4 years his job security will become an issue?

Who knows it could be a number of things.
