The fact that the payroll is lower now than it was several years ago, though the Royals should be closer to competing now than ever before, makes little sense.
The Royals have spent on infrastructure, the very basic thing that all ML organizations should do and have done for years. But not in KC. And now we're supposed to give Glass credit?
**** him. He's a piece of shit owner until he proves otherwise, which he hasn't done.

you're not wrong at all, and I largely agree with you. I'm just pointing out that it's a complete misnomer to say that they've been 'cheap' in all ways. when was the last time we lost a guy due to money? now, the counterpoint is (and it's a fair one)--when was the last time that we went out and got a big money guy, aside from gil meche?
