It's almost too easy, but I'll ask anyway: what's his evidence?

It's the stance that makes him more money with his current Free Agents, why would he need evidence? This is Scott Boras.

In some ways, I sympathize with his "view". But his view is on the wrong side of how history is proceeding. Truth is, he'll tout metrics next year if it serves his players better. It's typical Boras-spin.

The Royals are claiming they've lost 65-80 million the past few years LMAO

He's also used J.D Martinez's defense as an example. It's Boras being Boras

Dayton Moore has a World Series championship and 2 World Series appearances.
Billy Beane has zero.

Lots of trade interest in Duffy right now. Dayton might be getting a good package out of him.

How can they not get a deal done with the Yankees centered around Frazier and a power arm or two?

It just makes all the sense in the world for both sides.

@Ken_Rosenthal: #Royals GM Dayton Moore told KC radio station in November that payroll would be in $110M-$120M range. Sources now indicate number will be no more than $110M. Only way Hosmer fits is if #Royals trim in other areas. KC listening on everyone, getting significant interest in Duffy.

@rustindodd: The Royals are still fielding calls on Duffy, Alexander, Merrifield and Herrera, looking for controllable talent that would fit into rebuild. Also still seeking to unload contracts of Hammel and Soria.

@JonHeyman: Danny Duffy extremely popular on trade market. KC seriously thinking about trading.

Be nice if the Royals could find a way to get rid of Kennedy or hope he does well this season to trade him

I'd trade him first offer.

A McDonald's coupon for a large coke would do the trick. I'd even consider the medium.

So trade everyone to re sign Hosmer and then have a trash team ?
