DON'T DO IT, DAYTON!

 

(I think he'll say no.)

[Shilzzz]

oh who cares, the cubs aren't letting hendry go.

[srbin84]

Oh well, we aren't going to be able to get him anyway. In that case, I hope the Royals get him.

[Proven Veteran]

If they do get him, how long til the Cubs are the MOST embarrassing club in MLB?

Given the payroll, they already are the most embarassing club in baseball.

Royals Fire GM Baird, Hire Dayton Moore

 

The Kansas City Royals are replacing general manager Allard Baird with Dayton Moore of the Atlanta Braves, The Associated Press has learned.

 

The Royals reached a deal to hire Moore, an assistant general manager with Atlanta, according to a person close to the negotiations. The agreement will give the 39-year-old Moore complete control of baseball operations for the floundering Royals, who are on pace to lose 100 games for the fourth time in five years.

 

The Kansas City Star reports that Moore will receive a five-year contract.

 

The source asked not to be identified because an official announcement was not expected until later Wednesday.

I hear Pirates fans everywhere respectfully disagreeing with you.

[JoshiQ]

Well, since the Royals are the only team close enough for me to see live on a regular basis, this makes me happy.

[Guest]

Well, at least now my second-favorite team might stop sucking sometime in the near future.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

There goes that dream. :(

 

Somewhere in NE Illinois, UK isn't too happy.
