Should have signed Cueto and Zobrist in the off season.

Was signing those guys even option?   I don't follow dumb pro sports enough, did the Royals not match their offers, could the Royals match?

No we had zero chance with either person.

We absolutely could've signed zobrist but didn't make an effort. i'm fine with that decision too. he's old.

I mean we could have signed Cueto too, but we weren't going to.

I know we could have, but there was a zero percent chance Dayton was going to.

maybe dayton is the problem, there's no defending the alex gordon signing.  the smart move was to sign zobs to a 2 year deal, he signed gordon as a fan, not as a manager.

Will 85 wins get us the WC? Probably not this year.

Zobrist was realistic, Cueto was not!

Signing Zobrist was not realistic. He turned down SIGNIFICANTLY more money from other contenders to play for the Cubs. the guy wanted to play for Joe Maddon, and he was going to take whatever contract they gave him. He wasn't staying in KC or going anyplace else.

He signed for 50 Million. I get the Maddon stuff, but either way, he wanted to play for a contender. He was not out of our league.

Can we quit pretending that the entirety of the free agent market was Zobrist and Gordon? There are other players.

span (my choice) has been only adequate for sf.  but they should have jumped all over desmond when he got so cheap.  he's basically a cheap (this year) zobsie.
