I've said it several times before, and I'm sure I'll say it several times again, but people need to quit taking Moore's public comments at face value.
Before the 2013 season, he said it was unlikely they'd expand payroll. They ended up trading Wil Myers for James Shields and Wade Davis. They also paid $12 million for E. Santana.
They started the 2014 season saying the same thing. As well as the 2016-2017 seasons.
At this moment, KC is in the middle of negotiations to renew a TV contract with Fox Sports. A contract that could accelerate our path back to contention.
Of course Moore isn't going to say "Oh yeah, we're gonna suck until maybe 2021, if we're lucky."
