You're paying that money if you keep him anyway....what you're saying is that getting a borderline top 100 prospect for Ian Kennedy is worse than just keeping Kennedy.

Royals Farm Report is reputable. They have been around a while and do solid work. I trust that they were told this. Like I said, if true, there’s no excuse. Yes, I would pay $20 million to secure the rights of a player who was a consensus top 100 player just 16 months ago, who fits in nicely with KC’s group of young arms, who was a supplemental first round pick, who is from the KC area, and who hasn’t even dented his 6.75 years of control yet. The Braves turned around and shipped him out for Shane Greene (plus another prospect), so yeah, I think they would have sent him to KC 1x1 if KC was willing to eat the money. KC wasn’t, so Greene was a better option.

Some people probably just dont understand that in baseball, unlike football, the contracts are 100% guaranteed.

Josh Vernier and Ron Hugely were talking about this planted rumor earlier...and predictably, Vernier was the voice of reason while Ron says get rid of Kennedy at any cost. Ron is carrying your water guys. RON HUGELY. Let that sink in.

Pure speculation. You literally have no way of predicting this...especially when you're talking pitching prospects.

29 other? I don’t know. But a lot of teams eat money to move players and improve their return. It’s a good way to acquire young talent, which is harder to do than ever due to the hard slots in the amateur draft and IFA. Ron Hughley isn’t carrying the water on this. Jeff Passan is. If amateurs were actually paid like what they’re worth on their initial contracts, acquisition costs of amateur talent would be drastically higher. Passan stuck a $40 million estimate on Witt and Rutschman when asked, so $24 for a guy like Wentz is right in line with that (if it even was that much). As far as return on that value, even if Wentz only ends up becoming a solid reliever for KC, all it needs to get out of him to break even on the cost here is 3-4 wins above replacement. 6.75 years of solid reliever easily tops that. Wentz doesn’t have to reach his upside (good No. 3 starter) to make that deal a sound financial decision, long-term. Wentz would slot in around Kris Bubic in terms of prospect rankings, possibly higher. This is a legit guy and I can’t see a team offering more without the pressure of playoff availability. Reliever prices are usually best at the trade deadline.
