Quite simply one of the dumber things I have read regarding a team's plans. The Royals are 31-69 with a pitcher who will be 30 in December and makes $46 million over the next three seasons. This is flat dumb. That's my thought too. I see no logic. It's not like Duffy is Degrom, where you can see "we have no plans to trade him, but we'll listen"...type of thing, where they want teams to blow down the door to get him. He's simply not of that caliber. And right, the Royals are very unlikely to be good for at least 2-3 years, probably more. This has the looks of an Astros level rebuild.
