I suggest they worry as well with Glass thinking about moving forward with another G.M. for Royals progress.
Glass needs to pay out of his own net worth for players that can play now so a real General Manager can get hired and start trading and drafting.
G.M. assembles the team by:
1. Drafting
2. F.A. prospect signing
3. F.A. professional signing
4. Trading
Dayton hasn't draft a first round draft pick that has become an All-Star. Those picks should be sure cannot miss prospect. At least of the guys drafted should have been a canditate for Hall-of-Fame Status.

Allard Baird may have traded away Carlos Beltran, Johnny Damon, and Jermaine Dye because he couldn't resign then, a problem with not having an owner, but at least he could draft:
