It's the end of the world as we know it... and we feel... fine?
2018 is a season of transition for the Royals, or at least it is at this point. Dayton Moore is back. Will he swing full into THE PROCESS 2.0? Or will he try to load up again and make some reload magic happen?

It’d be easier for me to give you an answer if we could see him play a bit more on a consistent basis, like he did in 2016. He looked pretty good as a 23 year old prospect filling in for Moose. So, I’m certainly not willing to kick him to the curb quite yet, but then again, I can’t say that I have seen enough that wows me either. If the Royals felt really good about him right now, I’m not sure why they’d re-sign Moustakas.

If true, that's indicative of what Boras was demanding rather than the owners suppressing the market
