Logic says that we need to trade Gallo, Gibson and Kennedy now while the gain in prospects would be at its highest. Also unload Lyles

and DFA at minimum Folty and possibly a couple of others
Completely agree. Looks like Gallo is fading again since the ASB.

When this took place the Royals were just about Enemy #1 so I loved this when it happened.

Well, Justin Foscue didn't hit a HR last night. Their game got rained out.

Must be more than one team looking to acquire pitching.
Sure, there are a few, but adding someone to the top of the list slides everyone else down.

Gibson needs to have a good game tomorrow.
It may be one of the most important outings we will see, as far as how much it could impact our rebuild.

One thing is almost certain, Woody will probably keep him in longer than he should.

There is also a good possibility that the asking price may be to high to attract many buyers.

I could easily nay say this but I am not. Would not surprised if he is clueless to the rebuild.
he has another year but that is probably all he gets. Not much to work with but he has hard time dishing out tough love and encouragement when needed.
need a bit of a stronger presence

Hard to see how Woody can defend the team as "fighters". Watching them play does not reflect much effort is a concern to them. This is their time to shine if they want a MLB career.

He’s a first time Manager. JD puts himself in these positions by doing the hiring. First with the Pittsburgh guy, now Woody. Woody’s kinda in between a rock and a hard place. Look at Baker and Hitch. Experienced guys getting the best out of their teams. Just my opinion, of course.

Can't dispute that.

Well with players on this team I don’t see either one of them get much out of them.
