It's the end of the world as we know it... and we feel... fine?

2018 is a season of transition for the Royals, or at least it is at this point. Dayton Moore is back. Will he swing full into THE PROCESS 2.0? Or will he try to load up again and make some reload magic happen?

Pending Free Agents:
1B | Eric Hosmer | San Diego Padres, 8 years, $144 million ($5 million signing bonus; $20 million/year in Yrs 1-5; $13 million/year in Yrs 6-8 wth player opt out)

I mean, no harm in him being happy about going back to where he played his best baseball.

Funny thing is... I've read they are going to ship him out again before the season.

Well, that's the thing. Add Whit to that list - a non-prospect that just hit his stride as he head's to age 30. And Jake Junis...on nobody's list, but really became a dependable 3-4-ish starter. Cuthbert is still young -just turned 25 last November. If he follows his pattern of graduating to the next level early...but not mastering it until the next year...and w/ last year a lost year for him, maybe look for him to emerge. If he's just AAAA...next man up. Maybe Dozier.

Pitching. Lot of "if's" in both directions. IF Kennedy regains his change-up, look for 2016 version as a rebound. If Junis continues to develop, then those two with Duffy aren't a bad 1-3. Not close to "100 loss bad". But no idea what to expect from 4 and 5 spots. A lot will depend on Karns recovery and whether this Oaks kid becomes a ground ball machine in the bigs. No expectations for Hammel and really hope he's traded. But I suppose he could be average at best if he stays.

Really, if the rotation can just be average, their season will go the direction of what becomes of an unproven and possible dumpster fire of a bullpen.

I think it was mainly Gordon fans didn't think he would fall off like he did. I figured he would regress defensively some, but his at bats have been horrendous for his so called level. He needs to ask ichiro for some lessons.

several, on here, predicted he’d decline quickly and we should move on. Many saw it as a crippling overpay.

No offense, but it was the exact opposite. Most people were excited the Royals were going for it, and figured Alex would provide solid seasons early on in the deal, with the potential we were overpaying toward the end. Your memory is failing you here.

There were some who thought he'd decline on the back half and maybe hurt in year 4.

I don't think many if any wanted to keep him for 5/100, what his market was originally thought to be, but that came back to the pack eventually- and he did leave money on the table to stay here (10-12 million and another year, from what I was told).

But I don't remember anyone thinking he'd be this bad and fall off the cliff right away. Concern was all about years 3 and 4.

I was practically yelled at for saying to let him go. It's revisionist history to say people didn't want to go 5/100 on him, most did. I do agree tho that 4/72 wasn't seen as that bad, and he should've produced 72M of value. Even 50M is ok, it's no problem shifting some value to Alex for the contributions he's given this franchise. And, we still had a 2-year window with our roster where Alex' 2-3 WAR seasons (before falling off the cliff) could've been quite valuable.

But the wheels fell off immediately and they can't be put back on. He's our Konerko. Our Victor Martinez, our Mauer. And not in a good way.
