*** Official 2018-2019 Royals Offseason Repository ***

As the season comes to a close after an awful season, there is a possibility of some hope since the team played better in late August to the end of the season.

Here are all the important dates you need to know for the 2018-19 MLB offseason. Some of them do involve the Royals, such as:

Oct. 29: As of 9 a.m. ET on Monday, all eligible players are free agents (Escobar - good riddance).

Oct. 31: Most contract option decisions are due on this date (Hammel should be declined, resulting $2 million buyout and Peralta should be accepted, resulting $3 million increase to the payroll, and could be future flip for additional minor leaguers if he performs well).


Nov. 2: Deadline for teams to tender their eligible FA the qualifying offer.


Nov. 3: Free agency begins.

Nov. 4: Gold Glove winners announced (Gordon & Perez).


Nov. 6-8: General manager meetings in Carlsbad, California.

Nov. 12: Deadline for free agents to accept or reject the qualifying offer.

Nov. 14-15: Owners meetings in Atlanta (possible future CBA discussions).

Nov. 20: Deadline for teams to add eligible minor leaguers to the 40-man roster to protect them from the Rule 5 Draft.

Spoiler!


Nov. 26-29: MLB Players Association executive board meeting in Dallas (possible future CBA discussions).

Nov. 30: Non-tender deadline.

Dec. 9-13: Winter Meetings in Las Vegas. This is typically when all offseason hell breaks loose.

Dec. 13: Rule 5 Draft (could see the Royals taking a stab here).

Jan. 11: Deadline for teams and arbitration-eligible players to submit 2019 salary figures (I believe KC has some arb-eligible players).

Feb. 1-20: Arbitration hearings. You win some, you lose some.

Mid-Feb. : SPRING TRAINING!

As usual, let's have a good off-season discussion on ways that the Royals can/should/would do to improve. I will try to update the OP as the off-season goes along. And Duncan, you're more than welcome to provide us some information that I can add onto the OP. Just let me know.

To see the 2018 Royals thread, go here.

The players just didn't focus on that when Detroit's owner was willing to fork out $200 million to aging vets whenever he wanted to have fun.

it's just a correction. I mean the players won't see it that way, but it is.
Service time is absolutely going to become an issue. Of course, that will screw over the Royals.

Lolololol.

But honestly did anyone expect him to not at least get a half way decent contract. Also he didnt want the one year deal knowing the free agents this year.

Travis Shaw apparently said this morning he still expects to play third. This means Moustakas will be playing 2B. I'm guessing we'll have to see how well that works in spring training first though

Spin it however you'd like, but the bottom line is Boras straight ****ed Moustakas out of some serious life changing money.

So his life changes if he has 27M instead of 18m? Yeah, sure.

Craig Counsell basically confirmed that if all goes well they're going to start Moose at 2B. It's obvious from the last couple years that the Brewers are basically more concerned with scoring runs than preventing them.

Not trying to spin anything. I have no reason to spin it in the first place. Im just pointing out that no one at that time thought that Moose should have taken the QO. People would have called him an idiot if he would have. Also lets not be dramatic, because he still got life changing money.

Good to know 9 million isn't "life changing" in your view. I think you're full of shit, but good to know nonetheless.

Typical thinking about defense is out the window when Pablo Sandoval is able to make at least one play at 2B.

For sure, but Boras made a rather critical mistake trying to get his client paid. Which is, you know, his primary duty.

It's whatever at this point, but I am still kind of surprised he didn't drop Boras after all of that business.

I think its kinda funny, since Boras is Boras and from most accounts Moose is sort of a little bitch. I think I blame Moose more than Boras though. No one wanted to sign Moose due to his attitude.
