Can this season just get under way?

My thoughts exactly.

Didn't fit the team culture.

According to Rosenthal, if Bonifacio clears release waivers (deadline for a claim is tomorrow 1pm central), we'll have to pay him $575K. Although several teams are interested in him, a claim is unlikely, probably because they think they can get him for less than what he negotiated from us in arbitration.

Someone will pick him up at a reduced rate.

Didn't fit the part of the "Right 53"? Wait......wrong thread and year..........

I suppose you could just edit that to "Right 25" or something like that.

Any news regarding Santana today?

He was spotted house hunting in Leawood.

I've seen some chatter that Cleveland is strongly considered signing him.

His agent was quoted yesterday as saying they had their rotation set and had moved on, basically.

@Koreanfan_KC if Glass wanted him he would be a Royal by now. I Know DM, Ned, and the fans want him...#payroll #tradesomeone #makeithappen

DM says that he still believes Bubba Starling can become a good player, he just needs more time. It should probably surprise no one that he'd say it though, teams never express disappointment in prospects, they just quietly cut or trade them when its time to give up.

He talked a LOT about Torii Hunter taking 6 years to make it to the bigs when I saw Moore speak on the issue of Bubba Starling.

The common themes are that the D and speed and baserunning abilities are all there. Just needs to put the hit tool together. There also didn't seem to be any worry Starling would go play college football if he hadn't made the majors by age 24, as some have hysterically suggested (Kevin Kietzman, cough, cough)

I haven't listened to Kietzman in years, and that's one of the reasons. He just LOVES hearing himself talk about stupid crap.

He just loves hearing himself talk,period.
