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.

Thanks for bringing this up. Dane apparently wasn't paying attention to the trade deadline deals that were made. We were always better off hanging on to these guys and taking the comp picks when they left.
Unless he was saying that we should have traded them prior to last season, which is equally stupid, IMO.
