Trade Jacobs and Guillen for anything you get get. We just need to get their contracts off our hands.

The only current guys who would be untouchable would be Zack and Butler. I'd make everybody else, including Soria and Gordon, available.

Why would any team in the league want Jose Guillen right now?

I forgot about Soria. I don't think i would trade him now either because he already has a long contract and he is kinda on a down swing in terms of value. I expect him to rebound.

I didn't say they would. I just said from the Royals perspective, you would be willing to trade Guillen and Jacobs for a bag of peanuts right now.

Royals core players = Greinke and probably Soria.

EVERYONE else should be on the block. Meche should be the first one dealt, he'll bring back serious value and he'll be long gone by the time Hosmer/Moustakas, et al. are ready to contribute. Butler would be the only other guy I'd consider keeping off the block.

I think it sucks that MLB contracts are guaranteed. Players play hard until they get their contract, then they take a nap.

Yup. There is nothing positive about guaranteed contracts, IMO.

But even if you make them non-guaranteed, you'll just start seeing astronomical signing bonuses designed to replace them.

BRING BACK THE RESERVE CLAUSE!!!

Theres always some team in the playoff hunt looking for an extra bat. Desperate and in "win now" mode.

Banny may bring some marginal return from a team looking for a competent 4-5 starter. Mahay should be dealt. If we can get anything for Guillen or Jacobs, we should do so.

I guarantee moore will listen to any offer for anyone, i doubt he'd just pass a blockbuster deal. I'd def. try to dangle meche cause his value is extremely high, and he won't be around when our A ball guys are coming up. Get what you can within the next year or so...

It would be huge for the Royals if some of these guys would get on a hot streak before the All-Star break. Especially guys like Guillen,Jacobs,Meche,Banny etc. Getting someone to take 100% of Guillen's contract would be a huge win imo.

Too bad we can't trade Owners.

Dayton should trade JP Howell for Joey Gathright and trade his best relievers for 2 avergae players. Yeeea Dayton!

This.
