Who ****ing cares?

I didn't say it was bad, just that seems to be the approach.

He's definitely giving up some projected life time earnings for more certainty. Must be the good BBQ and hanging out with Mahomes.

Its not like the Royals dont have some risk. This is probably a bigger risk for the Royals than it is for the Dodgers signing Ohtani because the Dodgers are worth 6 times as much as the Royals.

Bobby Baseball.

It's a HECK of a deal for Kansas City, not gonna lie.

Bobby and his agent did us a solid. Royals must have convinced them they were committed to at least TRYING to win going forward.

PBJ

I dunno. I think we should have traded him for picks to take some guys that no one has ever heard of who might be ready for the majors in 5 years.

Or just sign the rising star to keep him here.

I’m good either way.

Just think how much bitching that **** Prison Bitch would be doing on this deal lol

I didn't think there was a snow balls chance in hell of BWJ to sign an extension here. Happy, happy, happy to be wrong.

Hrrrmm. Very nice. Adjusting royals hate accordingly
