The Royals farm is shit, Dayton passed on the opportunity to trade his stars for high level prospects but suddenly, for the first time in a decade, he’s “Going to get it right!”.
Sounds more like rainbows and unicorns than reality to me.

He had the wrong ammunition at this year's trade deadline. The no question #1 player in FA is going to be JD Martinez and he got traded for precisely dick.
Bats just didn't get a market this year. The Royals had pending FA position players in a year where contenders were looking for pitching.
He wasn't going to get 'high level prospects' at the deadline. He had nobody approaching Martinez's value and Martinez got 3 afterthought prospects.
