Royals update
--We just won a razor thin—thriller against the Giants in San Francisco!! 8)
--Royals actually have the 3rd most wins in the American League and would be in the playoffs if they started today.
--They will have to make a move for a bat at some point this season. The move could come internally, they have THE NEXT BIG THING mark my words, Jack Cagilione was MASHING all Spring and in DoubleAA, and yesterday they moved him up to TripleAAA. They have green lit the guy and many sportswriters think he will join the Major League Club after the All Star Break. He's only 19 years old! Hits for Power and Average. He's the next Albert Pujos!
--The emergence of Kris Bubic. Royals had two Cy Young candidates on the rotation last year—Lugo and Ragans, but Kris Bubic has been even better than Lugo and Ragans this year. He's been the best pitcher on the staff. Had a no hit bid going against the Giants yesterday that was ruined by an official score keeper ruling an hit instead of an error on an obvious error.

yeah, those big contracts in baseball can be scary. I can't believe it man... 765,000,000 Million just sounds insane. I mean, how far away are we from the first billion dollar contract in sports. And there is still that running joke about the Mets continuing to pay Bobby Bonilla's contract.
...Our only big contract is Bobby Witt at 300 million and then in Football Pat Mahomes is at 500,000

not only that they gave him 15 years...he'll be 41 at the end of the contract :-\
yeah Bobby Witts deal is actually a bargain when you think about it...I think he is a couple of years younger than Soto and its for less years as well
Mahomes's contract may also be the way the QB market is trending in the NFL

Yes, exactly. Both Witt and Mahomes are gonna end up being steals and theft of 100’s of millions by the time they are thru !!
It’s because of big market vs small market. KC had to be absolutely sure before they pulled the trigger on those guys but New York can afford to make a mistake on Soto and still survive to see another day.
It’s why Billy Beane stayed in Oakland at the end of the movie MoneyBall because he wanted to be in Oakland where they were forced to make smart decisions.
