You don’t typically know me for quick reactionary pieces, typically it is long drawn out number filled slogs, but sometimes you feel propelled to speak out...
The deadline has came and went, and the Royals did nothing. Sure, they made some smaller trades the weeks leading up, sending Homer Bailey to Oakland, Martin Maldonado to the Cubs, and Jake Diekman to Oakland as well. Yet they let their most valuable assets untouched. As the clock struck 3pm central time, Whit Merrifield, Ian Kennedy, and Danny Duffy remained on the roster.
Now I suppose you can somewhat forgive them for not trading away Merrifield.
