Oh, they absolutely will.

If I get some time tonight, I’ll try to look at some starting asking prices from key clubs for key pieces such as Herrera, And Moustakas and maybe even take a look at what a Merrifield return would be.

Too bad duda hasn't stayed healthy

I'd offer Herrera + Whit to Hou for Kyle Tucker.

Tucker is the #10 prospect. He is a 60FV player. According to Creagh's model he has a future worth of $60M.

Herrera = $8M
Whit = $48M (3 years x 2 war x 8M)

So pretty close IMO.

I’d love for them to take that deal, but not sure they would.

Merrifield’s utility is kind of unnecessary to them, as they have Martin Gonzalez as a super util type and have Altuve at Merrifield’s best position.

The Nats are the best target for Merrifield, or the Brewers, IMO.

Marwin is a totally worthless player, who had 1 good year. They'd DFA him if Whit came. And their pen is crap too. That deal addresses both for their window. You can't get te premier closer on the market for nothing.

It'd be nearly impossible to pry a top 10 prospect, but we gave one up in 2012 right?

Would y'all send us Ian Kennedy for Dexter Fowler?

No money changing hands - just our shitty player and shitty contract with 3 years on it for your shitty player and shitty contract with 2 years on it. You'd have to believe that Fowler's OBP and 'renowned clubhouse skills' would make the deal worthwhile to make it from a Royals standpoint. There are crazier ideas to bet on, I guess.

Personally I couldn't give a !@#$ what we do with Kennedy. I'd just really like Mike Matheny to stop playing Fowler.

Kennedy and Gordon contacts are so bad

Fowler for Gordon?

In a heartbeat on my end...

So the Royals take on the extra year and dollars out of the goodness of their hearts?

Only way that happens is if you tell Moore that Fowler is disheartened by all the masturbating and porn addiction in St. Louis and needs an escape.

Or if St. Louis throws in something to pay off that last year.

Hilarious

If the Cardinals would take both, I’d take Fowler off their hands.

FYP

Florida makes it to Omaha so three Royals draft picks are in because I know they drafted someone from Arkansas too.

Any other picks playing in Omaha next week?

I'd trade Ian Kennedy for AIDS if I had to

Fly ball pitchers are a thing of the past. It's going to make him RIP. All the rave right now is sinkerballers.
