Yankees about to shave the BEARD.
Keuchal looks to be headed thwre way unless the Braves step in with bigger offer.
Honestly i wouldnt worry to much about this.
Im more worried about riding Corbin Martin to long. He should be sent down so he can get back in a groove. See how he responds to being sent down.
And I do believe we need anothwr SP badly. This needs to be done shortly.
Again with the teams that are already waving the White Flag I Would consider this time to jump in a snag before any injurys happen to any conte ding teams.
Ive said it before Whit Merrifield Marcus Stroman and a RP would solidify this team tremendously.
You may not know where to stick Whit but the dud can play every where but Pitcher and Catcher. It would be a great back up plan for Correa and his freak accidents. And with the Contract he brings you could very be able to move Correa in the Offseason to get the much needed help tou will need in the Starting rotation.
Just an idea. I get it im beating the deadhorse in the mouth. But those two guys make this team very dangerous.

Whit does nothing for me. He may be a good player but I am not high on him.

Whit has a great contract signed threw 2023.
He does alot for me. He is the insurance policy on the freak accident Correa. He also is the ultimate utility guy who can play every where you need him to and hit bat is damn good. .300 hitter who gets on base and has alittle pop 15hrs but a doubles machine.
Whit can play both Corner OF postions and all the infield.
He would be a great add with out hurting us in the overall of rushing people up.
He plays plus DEF and can take bats away from White Kemp and even Yuli.
All in all we would only be short a SP and RP and we would be set

I mean I would but multiple sources and here is one Royals Reportedly Ready To Trade “Nearly Anybody”June 2nd, 2019 at 7:06am CST • By Mark Polishuk With just a 19-39 record to show for the 2019 season, the Royals have the second-worst record in baseball, and are already looking ahead to next year. MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand reports that Kansas City is open to trading “nearly anybody on their roster,” with the obvious exception of a few key young players. Adalberto Mondesi and Hunter Dozier are two of “the select untouchables,” though it seems as if K.C. is willing to at least discuss anyone else. This includes Whit Merrifield, despite the fact that the super-utilityman just signed a $16.25MM contract extension with the Royals before the season. As MLBTR’s Jeff Todd explained at the time of the deal, however, Merrifield’s extension was something of a unique circumstance, as the contract only extended Kansas City’s control over Merrifield by as much as one free agent season (via a club option for the 2023 campaign) and thus didn’t offer much financial risk to the Royals beyond what Merrifield likely would have earned anyway in his arbitration years. From Merrifield’s perspective, he was able to lock in at least one big guaranteed payday in his late-blooming career, as Merrifield is already in his age-30 season. From a trade perspective, that extension also makes Merrifield all the more attractive as a long-term piece for interested suitors. He is enjoying another strong year at the plate, hitting .300/.355/.508 over 262 plate appearances, with seven homers and a league-high seven triples to go along with eight stolen bases. Merrifield has significantly increased his pop (a .208 Isolated Slugging mark) and hard-hit ball rate (43.1%) from last season, though that latter number offers some promise of regression, as Merrifield’s xwOBA is only .349 (compared to a wOBA of .364). Merrifield has spent much of his time at second base and right field this season, though he has experience playing everywhere but catcher and pitcher over his four MLB seasons. His age could be a minor red flag, though between Merrifield’s hitting prowess, defensive versatility, and long-term control, he stands out as one of the better trade chips available this deadline season. It’s also worth noting that since Merrifield is locked up on an affordable deal, Kansas City is under no particular pressure to deal the 30-year-old unless the club really wants to sell high. As Feinsand puts it, “the Royals will need to be overwhelmed by an offer to trade” Merrifield. Besides Mondesi and Dozier, it’s probably safe to assume that other younger, club-controlled Royals players (i.e. Brad Keller, Nicky Lopez, Jakob Junis, Jorge Lopez) are also unavailable in trade talks. Alex Gordon is in the midst of a comeback year, though the veteran has already indicatedthat he wants to spend his entire career with the Royals, and thus isn’t willing to waive his no-trade production as a 10-and-5 player to approve a swap to a contender. Beyond that group, any other Royal could potentially be on the trade block. Feinsald cites such notable names as Jorge Soler, Danny Duffy, and Ian Kennedy, though for the latter two players, the Royals would have to eat a big portion of their remaining contracts to accommodate a deal. |

We need a guy like Stroman a lot more than we need Merrifield and we have the prospects to go get him. I am just happy that it appears we don't want Keuchel.

As Feinsand puts it, “the Royals will need to be overwhelmed by an offer to trade” Merrifield. That should tell you everything you need to know. In case you need a translation, 'overwhelmed' means offering a multitude of riches from one's farm system. You might have a massive woody for a player who isn't desperately needed by the Astros, but I very much doubt Luhnow is going to gut the farm for a 'backup plan' as you call it. |

Guduan is a worse pitcher than White is a hitter....I rather see Sipp pitching for us than Guduan, and that is saying a lot, especially if you know my disdain for Sipp... |

Those are the names they threw out. To retool and clear some cap space. They said a team like the Padres could go after Lindor. Tyler B. Has value as far as he has another year of control but, the Indians starting rotation other then Clevinger has totally sucked ASS this year. HAND has value to the Team but they have someone who makes less and can do the same in there pen. Santana is high cost so if they can dump that salary they would be in good shape overall. Also note Im just reporting what they are saying. Im noy saying they will sell, like the Royals, Orioles or Marlins. But they believe this Indians team does not have it and guys like Jose Ramirez and Kluber have not shown up like they whete last year.
Who are 'they'?
Nevermind who ‘they’ are. Who the heck is Tyler B? |

Luhnow might pull a rabbit out of his hat and wrangle a trade for a solid starter at a reasonable return. Hard to say.

I never used the word "avaliable" in regards to Whit and even if I had, I wouldn't have mangled the spelling ... twice. lol Price matters, genius. Everyone is available, if a team is willing to give a stupid return. Luhnow isn't stupid. And to the best of my knowledge he doesn't have compromising pics of Dayton Moore with a goat, so he won't get a bargain price. The only 'case' you have is a bad case of the hots for player the Astros don't need. Pick a different pony. |
