You have to ****ing sell tickets in baseball. Salvy has more value for the Royals than any prospects he would fetch.

We were 7 games over and leading the WC by 1 game on the July 31 deadline last year. We brought in the PadrAIDS and collapsed, but there was plenty of good logic to go for it one more year with our core. They'd earned the right |

I was hoping for some decent returns at the trade deadline to speed up the rebuild. I guess that isn't happening. This is probably going to be another 6-7 year rebuild, which of course shouldn't have to be the case.

I will concede the Cardinals development is definitely better, but their financial flexibility can't be discounted when compared to the Royals system. |

If the farm is so depleted.. then what's the point in even having guys like Soler and Mondesi?

Royals were 4th in % of revenue used in payroll last year. So we spend a ton.
We spent 143/250 in revenue, Cards spent 148/315 |

I think Soler is an interesting case. We still have Mondesi under control until like 2023 so it's not like he couldn't develop with all these other guys in single A. There is zero reason to trade him unless you think you can get an amazing deal for some reason.
