Good for Danny. Makes me a little nervous... WBC participation has not been great for pitchers in the recent past. Hopefullly, he gets light work similar to ST.
Winter Meetings open tonight. Should see some action soon. Way I see it, Royals have three options for 2017:
1) Blow out the payroll and add a free agent bat at DH like Matt Holliday, and a SP. I'd be interested to see where Tyson Ross ends up... fairly big risk with him, but he's a big strikeout guy who gets a ton of ground balls. Coming off thoracic outlet surgery, he could be a guy that signs a one-year "prove it" deal. And could make a ton of sense for KC if the bidding doesn't get crazy high.
2) make a trade (or two) that fill other holes from positions of strength. This would require moving someone like Wade Davis or Lorenzo Cain. I don't like the idea of moving both and don't believe you get enough value back from Cain to do it, but Davis, in this market for closers? Yeah.
3) sit pat. Hope that Cain/Hosmer/Moustakas bounce back and improve the offense enough that you're in it at the trade deadline and can add some reinforcements. Hope the fifth spot in the rotation can be answered well enough with Minor/Young/Stahm/Staumont/Zimmer/Junis/etc to follow the same plan.
