OR…. Win the division, get a week of rest, Vinnie’s thumb miraculously heals and come out firing in the division series!

I don’t know who the Royals could obtain for around 30 mil. per on a short term deal that could make that significant of an impact. Maybe Duncan has some better suggestions, but I feel like Bellinger checks all the boxes in a lot of ways. The Royals BADLY need another strong lefty to help balance out the lineup. He is an OFer (huge need) with above average defense and quality base running.

He’s set to make $27.5 next year with Chicago unless he opts out (which is the rumor) Boras is his agent. He’s gonna command at least $30 per, I would imagine. That’s why I suggested 3 for $100. Would probably get it done. Boras has worked well with the Royals front office. Think they could get something done.

Maybe there is a better, cheaper option, but I’m not sure there’s one that fits as well and could have the kind of impact Bellinger could have.
