Yeah, I call bullshit

He won the gold glove over Gordon.

JFC. I thought I had heard "same old Royals" for the last ****ing time.

It's NOT the same old Royals. Get that through your head.

If you want to know all you need to know about Cespedes look at the catch he tried to catch behind his back in the World Series and it bounced away and cost his team dearly on Escobars inside the park homerun.

Cespedes is not a Royal, he's a Yankee/Met/Dodger or whatever team will overpay him to make stupid decisions in the outfield and hit homers. He's the equivalent of Phillip Rivers, the talent is not worth the lack of team leadership,consistency, and overall just not giving a shit sometimes.

His age is very much in doubt around MLB.

That's all you need to know about him? One bad play when he was playing injured and out of position?

Injured and out-of-position or not, he's in high demand, which drives up his contract. We're already stewing about whether or not we can afford Alex Gordon longterm, who is beloved in the clubhouse and by the fanbase, and is far more in line with the culture of the Royals than Cespedes.

I personally don't want him here given the circumstances. I'd much rather have Alex Gordon. And I'm pretty sure Dayton would as well.

This.

They're not valuing him over Alex.

I don't even buy for a second the club isn't doing anything more than kick the tires and shaking out ballpark numbers to gauge the market for any other potential deals they might make.

Getting the salary figures and years being offered by other teams for a FA left fielder certainly has no value if you are looking to resign your own Platinum glove winning FA left fielder. Nope, worthless information.

Move along. Move along. Nothing to see here, folks!

4/$56?

Wow, less than I would have expected.

If Infante wasn't on the books, Ben would have easily been signed.

Still, can't hate on Dayton for 1 mistake. The guy turned 10 years of "no money, no problems" into a World Championship.

Reportedly passed up bigger offers to sign with the Cubs. Suspect getting full no-trade for 3 years, with Joe Maddon as his manager, were the deciding factors.

BigMeatballDave 12-09-2015 05:07 AM
That sucks. Probably going to lose Gordon to SF. :(

BigMeatballDave 12-09-2015 05:33 AM
Grienke ALL about the $!

@Buster_ESPN: As the market now begins to shift toward the unsigned outfielders, rival evaluators see the Giants as frontrunners for Alex Gordon.

@FlannyMLB: #Royals' Dayton Moore did hint yesterday that he had a couple things in the works that could pop today.
