There are no losses worth being pissed about. Things to be pissed about: Mondesi not playing (unless injured or on leave) Dozier or Bonifacio not playing Running Perez into the ground by having him catch too much Not trading Moustakas and/or Duda |

I'll add to the list. I'll be pissed if Merrifield and Duffy are not traded at either the deadline or in the offseason.

Well, with a different GM I'd expect a pretty sizable return on both. I don't know enough to get too specific. Of course, I have no faith in Moore to pull off a big trade considering he rarely comes out the winner in trades and has almost no track record since trading Greinke of pulling off big trades. I don't think he has the skill or balls to make the necessary moves.

I thought the big trades for Cueto and Zobrist played out pretty well for us.

Duffy is having the worst season of his career and making $15 mil for the next 2 years so they'd be selling low. What would you give up for him?

Now free agent signings are a whole other deal, he's not done very well there, but as we've seen this offseason teams are starting to get more stingy when it comes to FA because it's such a risk. |

That's mostly been from early season struggles. He's been much better lately, and I'm assuming he will continue to return to his career norms. If he pitches 3.00 ERA or so the rest of the year I would imagine teams would go off of that and not what he did to start the season.

Seriously, man, what the **** are you talking about? Dayton Moore has sold major assets exactly two times as GM of the Royals: 1) Zack Greinke 2) Wil Myers Both of those trades were monumental successes and contributed in huge ways to the best five year run of Royals Baseball since the 80s, including two AL Pennants and a WS title. The next biggest return he has moved was Wade Davis, and Davis’ stock had taken a major hit due to his injury issues in 2016. |

Well, after sweeping the Twinks, Ned had to get us back on track in the race to the bottom. Brandon Maurer folks....his line for 2018 is Leonard Pinth Garnell Quality Awful:
Game Appearances: 16. Record: 0-4 with 1 save. 12 innings pitched. 25 hits, 19 runs, 4 homers, 11 walks, 7 Ks, ERA of 14.25. Opposition is hitting .439 against him. Last night he faced three batters. All three scored. And he draws a paycheck. There's GOT to be somebody in Omaha or Arkansas who can do better than this stiff. |

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not the only one to suggest Moore is gun shy on pulling off big trades or to question his ability to get a big return. |
