00:00Disappointing Kansas City Royals team this season, Tom.
00:04They just have not been able to get it going at all, and they had some expectations.
00:08They started off the week with maybe a breakout against the Mets.
00:11They scored 16 runs, and then they've lost every game since.
00:14They lost to the Mets twice.
00:15They've lost to the Orioles.
00:16Orioles feeling like maybe they're back in it.
00:19Kansas City is not, so I guess it's trade time for them, Tom, it certainly feels like.
00:24Unfortunately, they really don't have a ton to deal.
00:27You know, that's kind of the issue with them.
00:29They've got a couple of pitchers.
00:30We're getting messages like they're not even going to trade those guys.
00:33I don't buy that for a second.
00:35You know, Kansas City, I don't know.
00:37They're going to have to take a deep look at that organization after the year and decide what to do
00:40because it's hard to be back on the rise and then fall so flat like they have this season.
00:46Yeah, you know, making the postseason a couple years ago
00:49and then seemingly not being able to get back to that point.
00:53The Lugo walk-up pitchers I believe you're referring to,
00:57those are the pitchers that need to be traded.
00:59Again, those aren't top-tier pitchers, but they are good depth arms for, you know,
01:03teams that are pushing for a wild card spot or whatever it might be.
01:06You have some good young pieces.
01:08You've dealt with a ton of injuries this year,
01:10and I think they just need to chalk this up to a bad lost year and move on from that.
