The Royals were in a tough spot. I can see why they made the trade. No good free agent pitcher would go there unless they started winning games. They couldn't start winning games without good pitchers. So I guess this is the best they could do. But they wouldn't have been in the tough spot they are in without several boneheaded decisions made by Moore.
I hope the Royals make the playoffs. I'll be rooting for them. Shields is very good and Wade Davis is a solid pitcher.
