how often is it the WS champions play the runner up in the first series the following season?
Surprised at the size of Ben's contract. Amazing what winning championships will do for your perceived value, I guess! I will miss him, definitely. Quality guy, solid player, just a great human being.
Unfortunately in my mind that means even less chance of resigning Gordon...
Any news on the pitcher front? I'm hearing rumors of Kazmir.
It sounds like there are quite a few teams interested in Kazmir.
Reported over the weekend that Royals would be willing to move Infante, but age and contract $$ makes it highly unlikely anyone will want to take that on.
Royals were reportedly looking into deals for either Todd Frazier or Carlos Gonzalez, possibly as Gordo plan B options. Frazier Link CarGo Link (it's all mlbtraderumors.com, so take it for what its worth)
Cueto signs with the Giants......so the partial season rental is over.
I can't say as this surprises me, but I'd have liked to see him at least pretend to consider playing one or two more years in KC. Pretty high price for a rental.
I don't think he pitched well enough through the season to warrant the Royals wanting to spend on him. Granted, he was nails when needed in postseason.
The Royals look to sign Dillon Gee from the Mets to a minor league deal. Probably a project hoping they can find more lightening in a bolt ala Ryan Madson, Kendrys Morales, and to a certain extent Edison Volquez.
As we have feared...looks like it would be a pretty big hometown discount if Alex stays.
