The Royals have a bunch of bad free agent contracts on the books this year. That much is obvious to anyone and everyone. With Billy Hamilton being designated for assignment, yesterday, everyone they signed this year ended up getting released or traded for cash considerations before the season could be completed except for Jake Diekman. Diekman brought back a couple of marginal prospects in a trade. Of course, free agent signings haven’t been going well at all for Moore the past few years but this seems to be a new low, even for him.
We all know the abysmal state of the Royals’ farm system, as well.
