Mondi one they were prepared for. Olivares came in right field, Whit to 2nd. Boom solid. Olivares getting hurt through it a little more in whack. Riveria comes up, BWJ to SS, Lopez to 2nd, Whit back to RF. It works gets two players into natural long term positions. Cam getting hurt and bringing MJ up throws things out of a wack. Salvy still playing so MJ's limited. Salvy getting hurt - MJ full time starter, which is good but shit throws roster construction out of wack. Santana is just keeping Pratto's spot warm until he is fully ready. Last year of deal throw away in trade or DFA. No biggie there. Royals essentially just have too many assets at C and 1B. Perez, MJ, Dozier, Pratto and Vinny. Got to move some of them at some point. |

However 1 step farther away from all that is, getting nothing for them and holding the kids back! Time to cut bait and let the kids play while you work on the pitching!

You couldn't trade Salvy if you wanted to, he's in year 1 of an 80 million dollar deal, very few teams will want that.

Dumpster fire at the quarter point The front office got the Royals to this point. Should you believe in them to get them out? Craig Brown Quote:

They suck at evaluating pitching, they also have made absolutely idiotic free agent moves that block prospects...
This team likely won't be anything until they admit Dayton Moore's time has passed. |

I'd think its somewhere in the middle. Contract is pretty decent for a great catcher but maybe not a 32 year old. He just hit 48 homeruns, has been one of the best in baseball at a valued position his entire career. But he's a 32 year old catcher, and not everyone can be Molina.

Instead of cutting ot trading OHearn or Santana. The Kansas City Royals baseball team has decided to bring up AAAA player Brewer Hicklin to strikeout alot. Expect him to hit .209 and strikeout about 50% of his at bats.

Brewer Hicklin starting in center tonight. What happened to Blanco? Hicklin has struck out 70 times in 150 ABs at AAA. This club doesn't need anymore Ks from anybody!!!!

Yeah, time to see if that talk about being "transactional" is real or bullshit.
If you're being transactional, you're trading Andrew Benintendi at the trade deadline. The Twins and Brewers are good candidates/landing spots for him. If you're being transactional, you find a team that can use Whit Merrifield. The Angels actually make a TON of sense as a potential matchup here. They've gotten atrocious production from 2B, and Merrifield's presence would allow them to either shift their star hitters down a slot (if he's vintage Whit and worthy of hitting 1) or improve production at the bottom of the lineup, to better setup Ohtani and Trout the second time through the order. While you're talking to the Angels, you see if they want to bring on Brad Keller. They need pitching depth, Keller is good and durable, and it would work well in their park. Can you sneak Jo Adell into the deal from the Angels' side (with Trout, Brandon Marsh, Taylor Ward, their future in the OF looks fairly set, Adell has struggled, and Ohtani is their future at DH)? Worth dreaming on and worth starting there. ^ Throw Scott Barlow to whatever team will take the risk Matheny has already destroyed his arm and pray he passes the physical. Angels would work here, too. And then there's the big one. Salvador Perez. Will they trade him? I don't think so and would be shocked, actually. Could they trade him? I think the Mets would be motivated to add him. The salary range isn't going to be a problem for them (and it is essentially a 3/$62M deal after this year, which is not bad, really). Even with Francisco Alvarez on the horizon, he's still a ways away and the Mets are contenders this year. And again... it's a hard sell for an executive who's trying to keep his job. If you're the front office head, and you've sold your owner on being close to contention and having the team and the coaching staff to lead them there... and in the season you had told me it would start coming together, all of a sudden all the coaches need to go and you're selling the key parts of the team for future parts... Hard to smile, say go ahead, and keep trusting the front office at that point. I think the only deals we'll actually see will be Benintendi and maybe Barlow (if Mike Matheny hasn't finished ruining him by then).

Alvarez and Melendez have so much juice in their bat that either guy can DH or be converted to 1b if necessary. Melendez at least has the baseline athleticism to play in the corners or maybe (BIG maybe) at 3b.
If you could get Alvarez for Perez you RUN to the fax machine to sign off on that one. I doubt you could, though.
