What was once a "team friendly" contract has turned the other way with his mediocre performance.

Gordon can refuse any trade and likely will.

Hamilton may return a flyer on some unknown prospect. Kennedy has value but not with that contract.

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
