The thing I’ve been calling for almost since the day I started writing here in 2016 has finally happened. I take no pleasure in Dayton Moore losing his job, but sometimes people and the roles they are employed in just aren’t good matches and it’s better for everyone to move on. That, at least, was the case here. I’ve long argued that Dayton Moore’s philosophies as General Manager were outdated and not improving. I’ve long argued that the team’s success from 2013-2015 had more to do with luck than good scouting or player development.
That said, it’s about time I come to terms with the fact that Dayton Moore was almost certainly what Kansas City needed when owner David Glass hired him.
