New Pet Peeve amongst Royals fans: Fans who assume KC will trade one of the core guys who hits FA after 2017, before the 2017 season.
Everything Moore has done this offseason has pointed towards maximizing the 2016 and 2017 window.
Trading one of Cain, Hosmer, Moustakas, Davis, is in direct opposition of that approach.
I could MAYBE see them trading Escobar in the unlikely scenario that Mondesi forces his way to the bigs in 2016 and they end up with a surplus of SS (though I'd think it more likely they just play Mondesi at 2B for Escobar's final year). But anyone else? Nah.
