Do Not Trade Carlos Beltran
Sign Now
Dear Mr. Glass and Mr. Baird,
We the fans of the Kansas City Royals request, no, DEMAND that you DO NOT trade Carlos Beltran. We also demand that you offer him a fair contract, something close to what he could expect to get as a free agent, if he still turns you down, so be it. We have many reasons for making these demands, which I will list now.
1. He is by far our second best player, and with the rawest talent.
2. He gives us speed on the base paths and reliability in the field.
3. Fans have already been upset with past trades(Damon etc.), doing so again, in the middle of a pennant race, might alienate the fans to the point of giving up on this team for good.
4. Beltran has been quoted as saying "[I] want to play for a winner". The Royals are currently winners and will continue so with Beltran in the line-up.
5. 65 hits, 35 walks, 18 stolen bases, .305 BA as of 6-23-03. And he missed a chunk of time in the beginning of the season in doing this.
6. Doing so would make apparel sales, especially Beltran jerseys; sharply drop after a sudden spike due to recent success.
7. All you would get in this trade would be prospects that still need to develop. And we can't wait another 3 or 4 years.
8. Without Carlos Beltran we have no chance of winning the division.
9. When's the last time we had a chance to win the division? Who knows when it will come again? We've got to give it every thing we've got to win the division RIGHT NOW. It's working the way it is now, don't change it.
10. If we have a .500 season we can lock up Mike Sweeney, getting rid of Beltran severely hinders that possibility.
11. Trading our best players every chance we get has resulted in the team being horrible for more than a decade. Continually trading for prospects is not working for us, it's time to sign our homegrown talent. The Royals theme is "Your hometown team", it's time to convince us of that.
So, Mr. Glass and Mr. Baird. Read the many signatures below and decide. What's more important? The fans and the team, or money?
Thank You.

The time is right. Let's not start things over again. Plus, Knoblauch and Quinn aren't available.

Everytime we have a good player, we end up trading him, which in turn means we will suck again for another 5 years. I would also like to let you know I have been a Royals fan since the 1980's, but haven't watched for years, since we never hold on to our p

Look at how the White Sox are beefing up their lineup for a pennant race (signing Roberto Alomar and Carl Everret.) While the Royals are trying to trade off one of their best players. How will fans believe if the owner doesn't believe enough to shell out

Claims by local radio talk show hosts of Mr. Beltran loafing are grossly exaggerated. Carlos plays with heart, runs out ground balls, and brings talents to the team that are hard to acquire. If you lose Carlos, you lose a core component to a winning team.
