Opportunities for a 4-year WS run basically never come along for a team like the Royals. We have to go for this.

That's basically how I feel. Keeping the team a top contender the next two years also helps keep the revenue coming in through attendance, hopefully those postseason games, and of course that next TV contract. Spend $ to make $.
I hope Dayton doesn't think that his near-perfect record on acquisitions the past couple years is going to last forever and that he can find a couple replacements for Gordon and Z if he just crunches the sabermetrics hard enough.
