The Dayton Moore front office was generally pretty tight-lipped about whatever moves they were plotting when he ran the Royals. In sharp contrast, we have seen numerous reports this off-season about general manager J.J. Picollo pursuing starting pitching. Already we have seen rumors about their pursuit of Lucas Giolito and Marcus Stroman, as well as trade talks with the Marlins and Mariners about their young pitchers.
But they appear to be casting an even wider net in their quest to upgrade the rotation. According to MLB.com reporter Mark Feinsand, you can add free agents Michael Wacha and Jack Flaherty to the list of free agents they are pursuing.
