Dayton Moore trades Duffy, Hosmer, Moustakas and Perez for a collection of prospects before St. Patrick's Day 2016 and lets Gordon walk. Would that be "building a sustainable system"?

Even though in 2016 it was Cain and Moose being hurt and 2017 Ventura's death that caused them not to make it 4 straight playoff appearances. |

Whatever though. The options were to either blow up the 25 man roster Loria style or let things play out as they had with the idea that a cornerstone player in Ventura isn't going to die tragically.

ChiefsCountry has really turned into Dane Jr over the years he never use to post like that.
The Royals have a high payroll and a terrible team they can absolutely critiqued on how they've done things. Responding with personal insults literally answers no questions that are being posed here, it's just a deflection. |

Today I Learned that "high payroll" is defined as being in the bottom half of the league.

The Royals are literally marred by a ton of bad decisions yet somehow Dayton Moore shouldn't be held to the fire about, how's this make sense? |

I don't think GMDM should be immune to criticism, but to see that guy (Dan) imply that the Royals should have 'Blown things up' in either 2016 (while they were still the defending World Champs) or 2017 prior to the trade deadline, when they were actually sitting in the second Wild Card spot, is just unbelievably stupid.
I mean, it's great to have 20/20 hindsight and all, but you would have had a fan revolt if Moore traded off all the star players while they were still competing for a playoff spot. |

I didn't want them to blow things up. I wanted them to pick an identity. EITHER - go for it. Or don't. I don't like stop gaps. Either get max value from the guys you have that are controllable (other teams like that) - or go for it.

That's my take as well. If they weren't going to blow it up they should have gone all in. Instead they just stayed in the middle and basically rode the roster as it was without doing everything possible to have one last chance. Signing marginal talents like Kennedy or that stupid Padres trade obviously weren't nearly enough.
