Remember, folks, these are the players Dayton Moore didn’t trade because he believes they’re going to contend for a playoff spot next year!
That’s four straight losses for Kansas City since their ball-busting move to mostly stand pat at the trade deadline, which has basically erased their “hot start” they came out of the All Star Break with. They were completely uncompetitive in Chicago on Tuesday night, getting mowed down by Dylan Cease.
Cease, who gave up just one hit while striking out 11 Royals in six dominant, shutout frames, bamboozled Kansas City’s lineup without incident. The concept of a pitcher who is both good and has made less than 50 big-league starts is completely alien to Dayton Moore.
