KC Offseason Trade Block

[Slyder]

Unlike Previous ones I actually have some guys I hope would be of interest. I like destruction and tearing down teams more than trying to find the tweak. KC is the 6th oldest team this past season and it's best record to show for it was 83-79 a couple seasons ago. With the team failing to compete the 2nd half of the season each of the past two. I let Porter keep an eye on them to try and see if there was any improvement but with the problem of very little money and age already affecting some guys. Also with very little help in the immediate future from the farm makes me announce....

NUKE KC '13 HAS BEGUN.

Only one that I would have to get a really, really, really sweet deal is Matt Moustakas. Everyone else can go. Of course you all know my likes (at least most of you) if youre interested in a player I'll look and see what I can find. Position does not matter, I can always move guys around in the minors or just plug them where I need them and hope they learn it passibly.

[Slyder]

Names that ought to interest most:
SP Francisco Liriano
SP Josh Beckett
MR Scott Linebrink
MR Kyle Lohse= Had a decent year out of the pen.
1b Dan Johnson
LF Travis Buck= Salary Dump
SS Trevor Plouffe= Just look at the stats and know I'm going to be expecting a decent deal.

Cheap Guys with talent and expecting a really good deal to trade:
SP Dennis Schlosser
3b Matt Moustakas
MR Sonny Gray

Looking for spects. Don't have a lot of money, willing to take a contract to offset some costs but the guy has to at least be competant enough that I might be able to give him away later. Everyone could be had if you need a solid guy at 2b or of got quite a few guys.

Couple offers have come up for Liriano and I just want to say I am not worried about filling the gap left with young mlbers. If I trade Liriano my team is done as it is currently constituted unless I get a Liriano Jr who's younger, ready now, cheap, and produces like Liriano has for me. So if some of these pitchers that are "older" (25-28) are there to fill gaps don't worry about it I'm looking strictly spects.

I also value control in my starters. I can tolerate it out of the pen as long as he has a track record of being able to work around it. Lack of control in starters Ive seen been just awful in rotations as they just walk too many guys and 1 mistake turns into 3 Earned Runs.

SD has interest in Moustakas and Gray, but I doubt I'll have enough of what you're wanting for Moustakas. Also like Hochevar.

[Doppelgänger]

I've got some interest in Moustakas, depending on how much you are asking for exactly.

Bump. I may hold off on Liriano and Moustakas for now until the draft class gets shuffled out and try again when teams have more guys to work with.

Lots of guys can go still.

[Saber]

I didn't read all that crap you posted, but Pittsburgh is interested in Liriano.

[Slyder]

PM Sent. Its official no shot at competing let the destruction begin. Come on every contender needs something!

[Slyder]

Going to send some return msgs this evening. Been going back and forth with errands.'

BTW if you read this previously Falu is now a free agent.

Interested in Liriano

[Kingdom]

If you are still wanting Keenan, I would still be interested in hearing your offers.

[Slyder]

If you are still wanting Keenan, I would still be interested in hearing your offers.

I honestly wouldnt know where to start the guys you stated as interested in are all young and still cheap to where It wouldnt save me a thing. If theres others you like and we could grow the deal I'd be open to trading for Keenan still. Unless...

[Slyder]

Dan Johnson's been absolutely clutch. I need to open up some money in case theres a reliever or 2 I like that come open on the trade market. He would be borderline class A compensatible this coming offseason. Doesnt make a budget breaking amount.
