It's the end of the world as we know it... and we feel... fine?

2018 is a season of transition for the Royals, or at least it is at this point. Dayton Moore is back. Will he swing full into THE PROCESS 2.0? Or will he try to load up again and make some reload magic happen?

1B | Eric Hosmer | San Diego Padres, 8 years, $144 million ($5 million signing bonus; $20 million/year in Yrs 1-5; $13 million/year in Yrs 6-8 wth player opt out)

I don't give a shit about the DUI. I still like Duffy and hope he gets his wish.

Absolutely ****ing this

I realize the logistics of the business and have no problem with them moving these guys though.

But tonight, I just wanna be a homer I guess.

**Shogun** · 12-13-2017, 06:42 PM

I have been a part of the @Royals for more than 1/3 of my life. For that, i am beyond thankful. Kansas City has been a part of my upbringing. And im so thankful for that. From the plaza, to OP, to Independence, to PnL, i am eternally thankful. I hope to be here til the end.

Full rebuild is upon us.

Sure-Oz · 12-13-2017, 07:00 PM

Duffy freaking out on Twitter...

I feel bad for him...but the Royals must trade him if they get a legit haul.

That said he re-signed at a discount basically and gave Royals a cheap season this season...kindve be shitty that they trade him. As I heard from passan though you don't have to have 1-3 guys to carry the culture.

I'm right with you, restock the system. Don't make any trades for useless sacks of shit like Neifi Perez.

St. Patty's Fire · 12-13-2017, 07:07 PM

It's disappointing but you can't put loyalty over building the team properly. It's why a team like the Red Wings are the trash heap they currently are.

KCUnited · 12-13-2017, 07:08 PM

Is Duffy being traded or did he just give up a HR?

j/k hope we keep him and he stays healthy til the deadline.

He's definitely super emotional right now like he thinks he's a goner

@MLBBruceLevine: Source confirms that KC has many suitors for LHP Danny Duffy and that the right package will get a deal done .Will the Cubs be among them ? First report @JonHeyman

Royals value:
2014: 490M

Gain: +460m

So if he lost 80M, he is still up +380M

this pains me. but i've seen it coming since the DUI. GM DM's face in the presser said it all.

i agree with everyone that's said it. gotta get a haul for him. take everyone to the cleaner. EVERYONE.

**lewdog** · 12-13-2017, 07:46 PM

One thing is for sure, I hope Duffy gets a designated driver when he goes out tonight.

He appears heart broken in these Tweets.

In case I, picks would be #32, 33, and 34, if Alex Cobb of Rays signs for $50 million guaranteed. Kansas City will likely have 5 of the top 40-45 picks in the draft, and the bonus pool money should rival that of the teams drafting 1-3 in the 2017 draft. This should give KC tremendous flexibility in acquiring talent that otherwise might slip or not be "signable." 2018 Draft Names to Watch RHP Kumar Rocker, N Oconnee HS, Georgia. Spoiler! Possibly goes top 10 but is a big, physical SP with ace potential. Moore and co. will be all over him if he slips a bit and could offer top 10 money at No. 16 OF Jarred Kelenic, Waukasha West HS, WI Spoiler! Kelenic is the top prep bat, toolsy OF. Royals would be ecstatic to have shot at him. 1B Triston Casas, American Heritage HS (FL). Spoiler! Tremendous raw power, best in HS bats. Royals typically like HS arms or HS bats with "special" tools. He qualifies. RHP Carter Stewart, Eau de Gallie HS (Ga). Spoiler! Another big, physical specimen with huge upside. More likely to be available mid-first than Rocker. ANY Any, Any (Any). Any current top projected pick who slides for injury concerns. Includes current top prospect prospect SP Brady Singer, U of Florida. Last edited by duncan_idaho; 04-02-2018 at 06:46 AM..
