I don't know that Sanchez WOULDN'T come to KC. I'm sure he would, for the right offer.
It's that the latest smoke signals from the team - after initial ones suggested they'd go HARD after Sanchez - made it seem like they're not looking to sign a FA to a big, long-term deal.

You're assuming smart decisions from a front office that is generally short on those.
Though the Laffey precedent is a good one. You're right, Moore
could do that. If Volsted is seen as flexibility, it's actually a savvy pickup by ol' DM.
That said, I won't give him that kind of credit until I see it. The guy is generally miserable at handling the 25-man. I wouldn't be eager to give him the benefit of the doubt were I you.
