Granted I would rather have LoMo since LoMo is better than Duda but for 1yr/3.5 million the Royals got an average+ hitter.

Yeah I assume he's going to the Athletic. It was their goal to have a MLB writer for all 30 teams by the season.
Side note, I subscribed last week to that site. I am really, really underwhelmed. The content is decent, I guess, but not quite as good as I expected. But the amount of content is pathetic. I know they are still growing, but the top stories on their home page are currently dated 2/21, 2/20, 2/19, 2/18, 2/17. High on the page is a Saturday ATS pick column from 2/17. If Rustin doesn't end up there, I'll be canceling after the basketball season is over. Even if he goes there I will still probably cancel.

I think part of that is their shitty algo for the front page. I believe it curates based on "your teams" and since KC doesn't have a specific athletic site there's not much new to show about "your" teams. I find it far better to just go to the CBB portion of the site, there's new articles almost every day.

Duda is basically Brandon Moss. Here are the 2017 stats
Moss
.207 BA
.279 OBP
362 AB
37 BB
128 SO
22 HR
Duda
.217 BA
.322 OBP
423 AB
60 BB
135 SO
30 HR
Duda is 32 years old and his 2017 numbers are pretty much what I would expect from a player on the downside of his career. His lifetime batting average is .246. The only good thing about the Duda signing is that it was only a 1 year deal.
The Royals are going to be gawd awful this year. It would not surprise me if they lost 120 games.

Saw Moustakas's agent has spoken with Whitesox. Makes sense since he would provide stability at 3B for this year and show some leadership to the younger guys. If he's playing really well they can trade him for more prospects. Win-Win, IMO. Hope it happens.
