This is a defining moment - if they mess w/ MJ to make room for Cam. Don't want to see it happen. How about release Carlos or Ryan has that been mentioned in the last 5 mins? Kyle needs to stay in the lineup - Trade Benny while he is hot for someone that can throw a 1st pitch strike...

Agree. It will be very interesting to see how it plays out. The answer is so obvious, it’s one of those times where doing the right thing shouldn’t even be noticed. It’s just…doing the right thing.

Hello. I am late to the party and following you. I heard you today on 810 Radio. I have never heard someone that I have agreed with 100% as to every point that you talked up today. I will start following you. Most of the points you talked up today are things that I've discussed with my friends that have caused them to not like me because they think I'm not a true fan. LOL I was the type of person that a couple years ago was hoping we would trade Merrifield because of the exact point that would he be even relevant by the time we're competitive again. Unfortunately I feel that same way about salvy. Now I'm huge fans of both of theirs. I was also one that told my friends that I'm not sure Greinke was a great signing because of his lack of strikeouts and how I think that's a problem with Keller also. And here is this article. Thank you so much for sharing your opinion and making me feel like I'm not totally insane. :-) by the way I've lived in Kansas City my entire life and I'm a huge fan of the Royals and follow them all the time through thick and thin.

Hey Mike! Glad you found the newsletter. When I encounter long time fans, I like to ask…don’t you think your enjoyment of ‘14-‘15 was heightened by the fact you suffered through the wilderness of the 20-odd years before? Being a fan doesn’t make perfect sense—especially of this club—but it’s pretty much all we know.

Amen to that. That definitely made it even more fantastic. I will always remain a fan but it has been tough these last 5 years. I don't even have time to go into all of my issues. haha Thanks again, appreciate your views.

They need to do salvy a favor and trade him. He will never even sniff another playoff run for the rest of his career with this team. I know it will be tough but he is already an all time great royal maybe even top 5. Let him have a chance to go play meaningful baseball again and try to get some pitching.

They would never, ever do this…But it makes a lot of sense to shop Salvy.
