The Wood in this tweet is Travis Wood. He was a reliever last year but Rosenthal is saying multiple teams are offering him a chance to be a starter again. I'd imagine the Royals are one of them.

Think something we will like is close to being finalized/announced.

Yes he isn't as good as his WAR numbers say he is.

Dayton dealing Soria for Madison Bumgarner. Good deal. :D

Reading the 2012 BA prospect handbook, the Royals were #3 system. (1. Monty, 2. Bubba 3. Myers 4. Odorizzi 5. Cuthbert )

This was after we had their best system ever in 30 years of rankings, 9 top 100 prospects. We graduated Moose, Hosmer, Salvy among others)


What's interesting is where CLEVE was: #29. Ahead of only the Sux, who've produced very little the past 5 years. Not sure how they got so good, Lindor #1 is a star but I didn't recognize many other names. They've done a great job acquiring arms like Kluber and Carrasco (and now Andy Miller). I don't know how they got the rest of their lineup z

You cant tease us like that! Trade with TB would sweet.

I have a boner now.

Link to possible Fister signing as well.

I am curious for sure!

Soria for Anybody, would be a good deal! You could actually feel the team deflate, when he entered the game at the end of the season!

Oh. 😶

Not sure how I'd feel about that. He's basically Jeremy Guthrie at this point, IMO. He doesn't strike out anyone and his walk rate has only increased over the past couple years. Fister was nails in Detroit in 2013, but comparing that season to last season his groundball percentage has dropped 9%. On my phone so I can't easily check out what has changed with his pitch repertoire since then, but we all know that the tightrope-balances can only last for so long.

Hosmer extension?
