looking at 2019 xwOBA, these guys stand out:
Smith .234
Giles .243
Kennedy .249
Kennedy is making too much money this year and next but the Royals might be willing to absorb a big chunk of it

No, you obviously didn't follow Giles as closely as I did when he was with Houston. Kimbrel just had a bad playoffs. There were never articles with headlines calling Kimbrel a headcase as I recall. There were a number of them about Giles in Houston and based on the reports I heard they fit.

IMO, it's either pay retail for Smith, or bargain hunt for other guys that can be acquired with fungible assets.
Nobody other than Smith is worth making a push to acquire. Giles seems like he is just as likely to be terrible as he is to continue being dominant.
