I know hes got this team to back to back world series but it should give everyone pause a out this year. This was supposed to be at worse a 65-70 win team. Everyone should be concerned about Moore as a GM and question if Neds heart is still in it.

No one will be surprised if Ned walks away after this year. I kinda commend him for not leaving when things were cherry. He had to know this wasn’t gonna be a great team. I put this mostly on GMDM. Ned has what he has to work with, which includes maybe the worst starting rotation in baseball and two pitchers in Hammel and Maurer that should immediately retire. He also has to play Raul Mondesi(who may become good but to date is pretty bad), Hunter Dozier(again, some potential but to this point is Kila jr.), Esky(in fairness Ned would probably play him anyway), the slightly improved but still not good at the plate Alex, and whatever other guys he can throw out there. The lineup is basically Whit, some pop from Moose and once in awhile a reminder of what Salvy was(maybe just a bad year, maybe ridden into an early career crest and fall). Not much Ned can do.

Had to be totally out of touch to look at that roster and think anything other than over 100 L's.

The difference between this roster and those 100 loss teams is that this roster has some actualy major league baseball players that will continue to play after they leave the Royals.

@maria_torres3: Moves: Royals place Jakob Junis on the DL with low back inflammation. Heath Fillmyer will start today. Glenn Sparkman’s contract has been selected from Class AAA Omaha.

Seeing a lot of Moustakas and Merrifield chatter, and the Royals made tribute type social media posts to them last night.
Deals might happen soon. Dream scenarios: Moustakas to Yankees for something like Luis Medina and Juan Then. Merrifield to Brewers for Corey Ray, Joe Gray Jr (2018 comp round pick connected to Royals pre-draft) and a B pitching prospect sounds about right and might be a little light. |

That would explain why he’s been leaving the fastballs up and hasn’t been finishing the slider well. |

I'm expecting less for Moose & more from Whit. I wondering if they'll move Duffy? |

Eickhoff's issues are starting to sound vaguely thoracic outletish though, so the Phils may not be willing to move a guy that's made huge strides in approach and raw stuff this year. But man, snagging Eflin before this season's breakout would've been a coup and damn doable. The ship has probably sailed there... |
