If the clock is ticking on this Royals season, general manager Dayton Moore does not see it.
The Royals enter Wednesday with a 16-22 record after a 7-1 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. The club has long grappled with a possible free-agent exodus, including prospective free agents Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain. Yet, with more than 10 weeks remaining before the July 31 trade deadline, Moore said the club would be in no rush to sell off pieces or make hasty decisions.
“It doesn’t take long to put together deals, if you have two willing partners,” Moore said Tuesday during an interview with The Star.
