Flanny was on 610 and made it sound like they wouldn't trade Whit and use him as a transition guy. Hopefully they get a good offer.

To me the idea of not competing until 2022 or something seems weird. How can I get excited about that when none of the current players except maybe Mondesi will be around?
It would be nice to at least fantasize about a run in 2020 with Sal, Whit and Soler. I was going to name some other players but ugh that's it. Maybe never mind. |

He has every right to feel that way, the Royals screwed the pooch with their farm system for the better part of the last 6 years. Now they have a bloated payroll due to signing guys because they couldn't produce replacements and now they are an old shitty team with no young players in sight.
Also this false narrative they are spinning as an organization is a joke to me. "This is what happens when you win a world championship" Yost said yesterday on the radio..no dude it is not. This is what happens when you have a GM that can't identify talent for a long period of time. Is Houston just going to magically suck because they won? Oh yea they're not and they've made a ton of trades and their system isn't ranked as the worst. The Royals system doesn't suck because they won, even though they seem to want everyone to believe that, it sucks because they made a ton of shit decisions. |

None of this 'keep old guys, try to get close to .500 and get the 15th pick overall and be mediocre for several decades.' |

Transition to what? You need a transition if you see some promise or potential in 2-3 years. We have almost no viable talent in the high majors. Trading Merrifield and Perez potentially turns a 5-6 year rebuild into a 3-4 year rebuild IF we get a decent return. On their current trajectory we have to be almost perfect in the draft (as perfect as one can be in the MLB draft) and hope for some gems in the international market.

I really don't think he understands just how awful this team is because these are all guys he brought in. It's not hard to make decisions when you are new and didn't bring everyone in but when that shit system and MLB roster is all his guys...it's like being to close to the situation to see it for what it is. I think he really believed this team could win 80 games this year with his moves. |
