July 28, 2010: Traded by the Kansas City Royals to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Elisaul Pimentel (minors) and Lucas May.

Scott Podsednik, hitting .310 was traded by Dayton Moore.

Moore's trade history is trading anyone doing well for cast of minor leagues. Royals fans, can we allow this to go on?

Dayton Moore's trade deadline history has no bearing now

2006- On July 24 he traded reliever Mike MacDougal to the White Sox for minor league pitchers Dan Cortes and Tyler Lumsden.

2008-There was also a report that the Yankees put on the table a deal that would have sent Cabrera and second baseman Robinson Cano to Kansas City for pitcher Zack Greinke and outfielder Mark Teahen.

2009-The Brewers, Marlins, and Yankees all pursued pitcher Brian Bannister, but the Royals wanted two players back for Banny, a price no team was willing to pay.

2012-The Pirates showed interest in Billy Butler. The Yankees showed interest in Alex Gordon. The Royals tried to make Jeff Francoeur, Yuniesky Betancourt, and Jose Mijares available, but found few takers.Ken Rosenthal reported the Royals at least discussed a deal to acquire pitcher Jake Arrieta from the Orioles for Broxton and Luke Hochevar.

To use an analogy, I'm betting the winter sessions are something like this involving Datyon Moore.

Royals All-Star minor leaguer

Royals have a minor leaguer putting up All-Star numbers and Dayton doesn't bring him to the big league because he was drafted in the later rounds, even with his low salary.

2010- AA

2011 AAA

Joe Girardi leading the major league is getting toss out of a baseball game.

Kris Medlen's contract

2015 29 Kansas City Royals $2,000,000 5.137
2016 30 Kansas City Royals $5,500,000
2017 31 Kansas City Royals *$10,000,000 $10M Mutual Option, $1M Buyout

I don't like paying a player $2 million to recover from injury still, but if Medlan can regain his form from the Atlanta braves, the risk he took might look really good for 2016 considering the three $8 million dollar pitchers on the Royals staff who are horrible. Dayton still cannot do smart thing all the times and this is just a gambling trade that may or may not make him look good.

Great tits on that broad.

Carrie Lachance, she is first class and a perfect 10.

Alex Rios season performance hasn't been great. Injury season could be the cause, but hitting .250 not worth the money. Best to let him go.

Contract
2015 34 Kansas City Royals $11,000,000
2016 35 Kansas City Royals *$12,500,000 $12.5M Mutual Option

The question becomes; Does Alex Gordon think he can get more than his $12.5M Player Option on the open market with a career batting average of .269 and as a small 5 tools player?

I mean look at those jugs. Wow.

Royal agony of drafting a guy, not signing the next Royal's ACE for the next ten years, and then watching him get highly recognized in rookie voting.
