than any return they'd get for him and under control long enough he could very well help when we start competing.

Gordon isn't going anywhere, but I wouldn't be against trading him.

I think Duffy is a solid 3rd or 4th starter on a team with a good bullpen. He's good for 5 or 6 innings. I haven't heard much chatter about trading him.

I think the most likely to move is Kennedy, but Royals have said they won't buy down any contracts and they won't be able to trade him without it. After that possible Hamilton if anyone will take him as a PR on a contending team.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

With trade deadline looming who will the Royals move? - hefeweizen MU

- 7/29 09:38:04

Kennedy and Hamilton for cash - playhard NWMSU - 7/29 10:19:46

Duffy is due $15m each year through 2021 - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:21:54

$15 million anymore is nothing for a veteran pitcher - playhard NWMSU - 7/29 10:30:41

Agreed, but it's multiple years you're tied into - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:33:19

Seems like everyone needs pitching - meatiger MU - 7/29 09:43:45

I heard that Stroman was going to be the biggest name traded - tigerNkc KC - 7/29 09:42:53

Chris Owings....you can get a .133 average AND a 21+ERA(nm) - Mormad MU - 7/29 10:07:35

I just saw that he homered in 4 or 5 straight games in - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:08:58

I think Duffy will be the one who is traded. Nm - Savage KC - 7/29 10:02:17

I think his contract is a hurdle to get past. - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:03:42

Why did the Mets get Stroman? They are out of it (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/29 09:43:32

Cause they're confident they can sign him long term. - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 09:46:14

I thougth he was the sausage king of Chicago(nm) - Eggs KC - 7/29 10:04:21

They're the Mets(nm) - tigerNkc KC - 7/29 09:44:01

This is the best answer(nm) - Mormad MU - 7/29 09:47:10

I guess it depends on if management thinks we can contend - Joeboo MU

- 7/29 09:41:35

Problem is Whit just doesn't get the credit he deserves - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 09:44:03

No Royals player will ever get talked about in the media. - hefeweizen MU

- 7/29 09:46:30

That's not true. Zach Greinke was talked about all - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 09:48:27

Ok kmaw(nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 7/29 09:50:14

Royals aren't trading Whit. He's far more valuable - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 09:40:43

agree. - colonel angus beef KC - 7/29 10:37:33

Whit is 26 years old and the Royals are 26 games below - hefeweizen MU

- 7/29 09:43:37

Whit is 30 (nm) - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 09:44:56

I had no idea. Why the **** is he suddenly a stud?(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/29 09:57:24

A combination of being a late bloomer and being - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 09:59:32

Late bloomer. Too bad he was sent down right before the WS. - hefeweizen MU

- 7/29 09:58:46

He never made it to the majors until 2016. - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:00:36

Ok kmaw.(nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 7/29 10:01:46

Would have guessed he was about 25 (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/29 09:59:36

Even more reason to trade him then(nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 7/29 09:45:34

You aren't getting the haul you think you're getting - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 09:46:54

We shall see. (nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 7/29 09:47:55

Whether you want him traded or not, he won't be traded. - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 09:49:19

You might get an organization’s top ten prospect - Savage KC - 7/29 09:56:19

You might get a guy like O'Neill from the Cards - Mormad MU - 7/29 10:27:32

I agree (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/29 10:18:54

With Carpenter tanking, seems STL would be a perfect - hefeweizen MU

- 7/29 10:00:21

Royals want 3 ready MLB players for Whit. Nm - Savage KC - 7/29 10:03:52

Which isn't realistic as a trade deadline trade.(nm) - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:06:47

Can he play 3rd?(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/29 10:03:41

He's played there a couple times, but not really his - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:05:12

Cards are a 3rd basemen and an ace away from being - TheWildcat STL - 7/29 10:06:30

Card could trade Wong and open a hole at 2nd. (nm) - Uncle John MU

- 7/29 10:20:19

He isn't really cheap (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/29 10:35:28

He'd be more valuable to a team that would move him - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:08:10

Cards have a few of those players - Mormad MU - 7/29 10:10:52

Munoz, Edman, and O'Neill. Trade them (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/29 10:12:05

I'd rather trade Bader, Gyrko and Carp - Mormad MU - 7/29 10:14:11

Bader is worth a couple bats and a McDonalds Filet O Fish (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/29 10:16:27

The one that's been under the warmer for a few hours?(nm) - Mormad MU - 7/29 10:20:29

Yes(nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/29 10:24:40

Well, we also need a top tier starting pitcher. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 7/29 10:10:23

Yeah, um, KC doesn't have that. - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:11:02

He would be a nice acquisition - Mormad MU - 7/29 10:12:37

Him or Wheeler now that it seems Bumgardner isn't - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:13:47

Trevor Bauer, if the Indians are still thinking of trading(nm) - cnk ATL - 7/29 10:16:16

Forgot about him. He'd be great if you want a pitcher - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:17:50

What about Sonny Gray from Cincy? - Mormad MU - 7/29 10:24:35

That would be tough. They have him locked up through - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 10:26:42

They aren't shopping him - you'd have to pry - Mormad MU - 7/29 10:28:15

He can. He can pretty much play any position except catcher - hefeweizen MU

- 7/29 10:04:45

Ok kmaw(nm) - hefeweizen MU

- 7/29 09:49:42

If the Royals trade him, I'll be happy. It means they got - kmawv8 MU - 7/29 09:54:05
