The only thing that saves this from being a major failure was that Buchter was traded for something that looks like a major league player. I can't wait for Brandon Maurer to be off this roster. Ned knows he's done, the players on the team know he's done, the fans know he is done and so does Dayton. Now, if the Royals want that #1 overall pick Maurer continues to pitch.

Because the Padres were completely into rebuild mode and those guys didn’t fit their timeline. Strahm did and Ruiz definitely did.
It’s no different than the Royals moving Jay or Duda or Herrera or Whit Merrifield or Duffy if they trade those two.
Maurer is terrible. This org is not running him out there to try to be bad, though. It’s doing that to try and fix him and flip him for value next year
