Royals to put Guillen on market

General manager Dayton Moore hedges when asked for specific changes, though he confirms the Royals will actively seek help in the free-agent market. The top targets are a run-production bat that can play a corner position, a proven middle infielder and another starting pitcher. The marquee names, such as CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira, are likely to be beyond the Royals' reach, but Moore appears to have sufficient spendable payroll to pursue reliable veterans such as Raul Ibanez and Rafael Furcal. The Royals will also gauge the trade market for Jose Guillen and weigh it against his production -- a disappointment this season despite his club-leading 18 homers and 81 RBIs -- and penchant for creating distractions. Officials with other clubs say the Royals appear open to trading anyone except Meche and Soria, though the price for Greinke effectively takes him off the market, too.

Kansas City has a team?

The Royals are and coming team,that will make the necessary moes to win some championships. I think Dayton Moore is a competent GM that will do an outstanding job to build this team and maintain it's supremacy well into the 21st century.

Do they teach spelling and grammer out there in KC?

Just wanted to point out that A Fact just misspelled grammar while trying to make fun of someone else. HAHA. He does have a nice icon though.

It's always a good idea to pickup players that don't even help their current teams to strengthen your own.....
