"The Royals will look to trade center fielder Lorenzo Cain, 1B Eric Hosmer and 3B Mike Moustakas this summer if they're not contending for a playoff spot, the team's GM, Dayton Moore, told the NY Post's Joel Sherman this past weekend.

Similarly, the White Sox are likely to move 3B Todd Frazier and closer David Robertson - and possibly 1B Jose Abreu - their GM, Rick Hahn, told Sherman in a separate article for the Post." Mets Blog

2017 off season moves by Dayton Moore. Nothing to improve the club and just staying the status quo.


Royals acquire Karns from Mariners for Dyson

Jorge Soler has potential but cannot get anything going with the Cubs. Change of seasons and scenery always helps. Warmer in KC than Chi-Town.

To early to say the Jorge Soler trade was bad?

Royals outfielder Jorge Soler will likely begin his first season in Kansas City on the disabled list after straining his oblique in a minor league game.

Soler, acquired from the Chicago Cubs in December for closer Wade Davis, hurt himself on a swing Sunday. Soler went for a MRI Monday, and manager Ned Yost acknowledged Soler was expected to be out of action when the Royals open next Monday at Minnesota.

Dayton, what a horrible job performed on this contract.

4.01 ERA in 2015 and 7.77 ERA in 2016.

2017 update on the farm pipeline.

Kyle Zimmer is a bust not seen since Bubba Staling, which is too recent and frequent for a first rounder with big signing bonus and no MLB results.


Jake Junis Drafted: 2011, 29th (876) - KC is the best prospect that will probably be moved to the bull pen.

Royals draft Raul Mondesi III, the son of Raul Mondesi and not Vladimir Guerrero's son.
