Some noted from Rany on 810 today:

Loves the Davis/Soler trade. If it were 2 years ago it would've been unheard of. Royals fans should not compare to Chapman trade because CHI drastically overpaid after losing out on Miller. Soler has time to figure it out in the majors and has the upside of Dye.

Next move is likely to move an OF. If not for a starting pitcher then go for prospects because they aren't really missing much else. All part of balancing "go for it" vs avoiding the post-2017 cliff.

"Go for it" has become more of a preference because of the White Sox going all in for prospects, Twins have talent and just hired a competent front office, and Tigers are leaning towards rebuilding (finally).

Royals are trying to something incredibly difficult - make one last run while rebuilding. The team he compared it to was the 90's Pirates that let a crazy amount of talent walk and then were awful for about 20 years after that.
