January 31, 20188 yr Author Ken RosenthalVerified account @Ken_Rosenthal 9h9 hours ago Per sources and reports, delay on Darvish seems to be stemming from number of factors: Efforts of #Yankees and #Dodgers to clear salary; entrance of new teams such as #Brewers into bidding; Darvish’s agents waiting to get their price. @RobertMurrayFRS, @McCulloughTimes on it.
January 31, 20188 yr Author Jon MorosiVerified account @jonmorosi 24m24 minutes ago Eric Hosmer’s camp has continued pushing for a contract of more than 7 years, source says. [He is a young free agent at age 28.] The #Royals’ need to re-sign him (and capacity to pay him) increased with this week’s Brandon Moss trade. @MLBNetwork @MLB
January 31, 20188 yr The idea that the Royals would have been okay with Brandon Moss instead of Hosmer is actually pretty damning there, Morosi.

January 31, 20188 yr The team with the best offer should just pull it and watch him panic and come crawling back in a few weeks. He's not good enough to warrant a mega-deal so you really wouldn't be missing out.

If only we had some inside info on the views of how a "potential" deal will be viewed by the baseball world/KC sports radio/Royals fans....... Edited January 31, 20188 yr by Sleepy Harold

The absence of Brandon Moss does not create urgency to do anything. Why don't the Royals just sign Duda if they want to fake compete?

February 1, 20188 yr Author I know there are a ton of moving parts out there, but I would love to see the Cubs gets screwed by waiting so late into this off season to do something about their starters.

They'll definitely add someone. If Arrieta and Darvish go elsewhere, they'll either grab Cobb or Lynn.

Hard to see that happening. Heck the only guy we signed we probably overpaid by quite a bit signing him early. Take at the Avila signing what did he get? 8 milllion over 2. What did we pay Castillo 15.5 million over 2? Edited February 1, 20188 yr by wrathofhahn

Take at the Avila signing what did he get? 8 milllion over 2. What did we pay Castillo 15.5 million over 2? Eh, if Avila is healthy its a great deal. But Avila has had a lot of difficulty staying on the field compared to Castillo, who is a consistent 110 game a season guy (and also slightly younger). The market just doesn't seem likely to bite at 1 season sample sizes unless the guy is 25-26.

They were so close to being screwed by that decision that people don't realize how lucky they got that Verlander turned up available after the waiver wire deadline. If he'd simply used his 10-5 rights, Houston would not have won the world series.

They could then still use a Kyle Tucker or the best pitching prospect in baseball to get an upgrade. ZIPS has them with 52 WAR. They have some cushion. For all of the verlander aww man what if they didn't get him or if he was bad, they could also have gotten Darvish and been worse, and Verlander has talked about how all of the information they provided him made him better. If you read only soxtalk you'd think the astros fell ass backwards into a world series title.
