The Star’s Pete Grathoff writes about former GM Steve Phillips on XM radio talking about the Royals trading Salvy (got all that?)
“Kansas City’s got no chance of winning again before Salvador Perez is over the hill. Why don’t they trade him right now?” Phillips said. “He’s got a reasonable enough contract. Trade him and get something for him. Leadership for rebuilding is great. But go get a journeyman guy who is a good leader, not a good catcher that could help a playoff contending team that could bring back two or three impactful prospects for you.
