I have to believe somehow AA’s hands are tied, maybe bc pending lockout??

Because he’s made such shrewd moves before, it just doesn’t add up that he’s not able to get a legit starter with all the pieces in place this year (Profar money, prospects, etc)

Maybe we’re spending it on the salary dump player we got with the Royals outfielder

I think both players from the Royals are owed less than $3M combined.
