I assume he gets dealt at the winter meetings? I'm hoping someone meets that price or offers multiple under 100 prospects

I read that The Royals will lose 16 mil this season. Hard to imagine the class family not trimming the salary going forward.

Although relievers aren't worth as much and volatile, the Padres traded Brad Hand (who has two years of control+an option year) and Adam Cimber (5.5 years of control) for Mejia after he had slipped down to the 21st rated prospect at midseason. That's 8.5 years of control for a catcher with real concerns about staying behind the plate. |

Getting a team to pay the price the Royals would need to move Merrifield will absolutely be a challenge.
You have to find the partner that NEEDS him. And that might not exist. But the price should also absolutely be in the neighborhood of what the Nats got for Eaton or what the Marlins got for Christian Yelich. |

If prospect values are through the roof, just keep Whit.
Four years of control. I know if you’re going to suck, then go all out, but it really helps the rebuild process to have at least one sturdy, dependable vet who does it all. |

Watching a bit of the first game of this Cubs/Brewers series, it's been a playoff type game. Was watching the 9th inning, Royals all over the field. Zobrist was at the plate, Jeffress on the mound, Moose and Cain on defense and Terrance Gore was pinch running for the Cubs.

Holy crap. Again. O'Hearn is a monster. Him and Dozier are locked in right now.

It is nice to see Ohearn and Dozier look like they have seen a salad bar and weight room. Moose and Butler could ball but they looked like shit. y
