*IF* there’s a roster crunch, I could see the Mets adding Cuthbert as Wright’s replacement. Maybe for SP depth?

The Royals would be fools to not find a way to keep Cuthbert on the roster. With Hosmer, Moose, and Cain all leaving, there will be a place for him to play somewhere in 2018 and beyond.

royals have depth at 3rd, with Dozier preforming last year, Cuthbert is a casualty
Gunnnar1818
They’d trade him tho
blueoctober
They’re not going to put him in center field…nor can they move Soler or Gordon to center and put him in the corner. Dozier is first in line for third base. And Cuthbert would probably the worst offensive 1B in the league. So the fact those 3 might leave (I imagine 1 of the 3 will get extended) doesn’t change the situation for Cuthbert.
He’s a good bench piece though and they should keep him.

Crazy thought, but why not see if they can trade Moose to Mets for pitching? Not sure how much you can get for 1 year of him, but it’s a full season and KC can rebuild as they contend

They’ll probably look at something like that at the trade deadline.

SP Depth is always a good thing but the Royals have Duffy, Hammell, Wood, Karns, Strahm, and Kennedy for multiple years. Not to mention Young, Minor, and Vargas this year. As well as prospects like Zimmer. I think they would look for other positions.
Cheslor won’t be able to bring much in return, so I just don’t see the point. (Nor do I see why the Mets would want him to be their long term solution)
With that said, it would be a bad idea for the Royals to get rid of Cheslor right now. He’s a good bench piece and kills left handed pitching.

The Mets already have a logjam of infielders to replace Wright. They wouldn’t be interested in Cuthbert.

I hope Frazier stays with the Sox, great leader for a young core.
mcdusty31
Man if the Royals fall out of contention they could have one heck of a fire sale at the deadline

Cain would get such a big return. He’s a guy who could win you a postseason series with his speed/defense/bat
Priggs89
I doubt it. He’s already 30 and on an expiring contract. Plus, outside of 2015, his bat hasn’t been THAT good.
RunDMC
That’s great seeing Raffy Belliard on with KC – would love to have him showing Albies a thing or two, even at 2B.

If the Royals can’t even sign ONE decent FA to be, then it’s another 30 years in the wilderness waiting for the stars to align perfectly again without any financial help.

Our teams should join forces since my Os follow the same wait and hope approach. The Mighty Royioles! Or Oryals!
seanwh01
Kendrys Morales worked out pretty well I’d say. Can’t complain about Edinson Volquez 2 years ago either.

Gimenez and Castro are both under the radar signing that will help the Twins to get back to competitive baseball. All-Star break 2015 the Twins had the best record in the AL. And this team is going to be more athletic, younger, and feature some intriguing depth.
