The Royals’ unwillingness to eat money on Ian Kennedy is frustrating.
You look at what the Braves gave up for Shane Greene - lovely product Joey Wentz as the centerpiece - for 1.3 years of Greene, and you have to think the Royals could have landed something similar had they been willing to pay the rest of Kennedy’s 2019 salary and 1/2 of 2020.
The market for Merrifield should be a lot better in the offseason, when more teams are in “buy” mode. Even then, it would still take a real haul.
