On a gut level, losing Dyson hurts worse than anyone since Beltran.

Myers had his fair share of flaws that were apparent enough for me to not get worked up over trading him. Though, at that point in time I wanted the Royals to fire Dayton Moore so I viewed it as a win-win. If the trade worked out, then great, if it didn't then GMDM would've been fired. I, and many others, had the sense that DM was skipping ahead in "the process" just to get the Royals to relevance and save his job.
Fast forward to now and I'll defend Dayton to my grave dammit. |

I was okay with trading Wil, but not for two years of a pitcher who had the mileage that James Shields did. Luckily, I am a dumbass, and GMDM is not. Last edited by Chiefspants; 02-02-2017 at 08:39 AM.. |

I thought the trade was fine in terms of fair value. I didn't want us doing it tho because we won 72 games and weren't a contender. Apparently DM felt we were and the rest is history

The other piece was that we had such a gaping hole in RF... and GMDM was trading away our future RF of the millennium (in our minds).

Somewhere deep down inside me, I've never cared for Dyson much. Even though he's valuable to the Royals more than other teams, he's still just a 4th OF at best. I'm definitely not upset about losing him like some are here. It kinds blows my mind some are that torn up about it.

Tell me why he wasn't a starting OF everyday then please.
Yes, I realize his WAR was good but why didn't he start then with the shit we've played in RF over the years?

Point: if we didn't have both of them, he would've started regardless who was RF I don't know why he didn't play over Alex Rios in 2015. I'm guessing the 10M paycheck forced that. Dyson could've played CF every year for us the past 3-4 seasons, and we'd not have missed a beat. He could play CF for just about any team, bat 9, make no $, and be valuable. |

@JeffPassan: Royals are a file-and-trial team but settled in arb with Kelvin Herrera for $5.325M. Didn't want a fight in aftermath of Ventura tragedy.
