Managing payroll key for Moore at Meetings

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- The Winter Meetings hadn't even officially started last December when the Royals jumped in and agreed to sign reliever Joakim Soria to a three-year, $25 million deal the Sunday before.

It would seem highly unlikely that Kansas City leaps into the free-agent market again so quickly this time because of severe payroll restrictions. But general manager Dayton Moore has made it clear he will listen to any and all potential trade offers, which could make the next four days very interesting for Royals fans.
