Gordo’s been solid the last two games. As hard as it is, losing like this is the best case scenario. GMDM needs to be absolutely convinced that our only option is to sell our assets this year.

Herrera + Moose to the Braves is something we should all hope for.

I love Baseball, so I’ll keep watching. I obviously didn’t see this kind of collapse coming. Still surprised they’re this bad.

Still see the positives in Merrifield and Herrera and Moustakas developing max trade value for themselves, Soler emerging, Junis, Jason Adam, Brad Keller.

I’m excited to see Mondesi later this year, and possibly Staumont and Lovelady. And to see what happens in the draft.

They’ve been connected a lot recently to Jordyn Adams, a dynamic athlete with a football commitment to North Carolina (WR). He’s a crazy athlete win Buxton/Trout like physical skills.

When's the earliest we can put Kennedy on an iceberg and send him out to sea?

October 2020.

Anytime.
But, it would be an expensive iceberg before Oct 2020.

Much worse than the Gordon contract.

AND he cost us a pick. Allard Moore makes some great decisions.

Tend to agree.
At least Gordon is batting .275.

Can anyone point to many moves by Moore that have worked out in recent years? It seems to me that anytime he does something, the exact opposite turns out to have been a better choice.

Re-signing Mike Moustakas for $6 mil
Trading for Jorge Soler
Development of Whit Merrifield
Development of Jake Junis
Trading for cash for Brad Keller as a Rule 5 pick.
Salvador Perez is still on a very team friendly contract and will be for this year and the next 3 years.

Those are alright I suppose, but to me the failures far outweigh the successes.

- Giving away Jose Martinez for nothing.
-Not trading Duffy
- Signing Gordon and Kennedy
- Horrible in the draft

I really hope I'm wrong, but despite having 4 top 40 picks I have absolutely no faith in any substance coming from this draft. I also have little faith in getting any substantial return at the trade deadline.

Kennedy’s winning percentage with the Royals is .378. That would be 61-101 for a season. I’m not able to see what KC’s winning percentage is in games that he has started, but I’d imagine it is a little higher. He seams to be really bad early. Did he really only face 4 batters last year after throwing 60 pitches?

Remember that they traded away 5 minor league pitchers in 2015 for Zobrist and Cueto. They also traded away AJ Puckett, another Royals draft pick, last year for Melky Cabrera when they were trying to put together another playoff run. Even though Manaea is the only one that's really panning out, they were still mortgaging the future with those trades and now the Royals are getting the receipt for that with an empty farm system.

Two pennants and a championship ring.

This is Neds last year
