Well, Volstad wont be costing us money this year. We just DFA'd him, might sign him to a minor league deal but he's off the 40-man and wont see arbitration.
edit: correction, we probably just used an option, he might still be on the 40-man edit2: nope, I was right the first time. Volstad's been cut from our 40-man roster. |

The Royals announced that they designated seven players for assignment to create 40-man roster space for players who would otherwise have been eligible for the Rule 5 draft. The Royals designated right-handers Vin Mazzaro and Chris Volstad, left-hander Ryan Verdugo, catcher Brayan Pena, infielder Clint Robinson and outfielder Derrick Robinson for assignment. The Royals, who are also designating catcher Adam Moore for assignment, now have a full 40-man roster. They selected the contracts of left-handers Chris Dwyer, Donnie Joseph, John Lamb, Justin Marks and Mike Montgomery, and right-hander J.C. Gutierrez in related moves. The move could amount to an early non-tender for two players. Pena was on track for a salary in the $1.1MM range as a third time arbitration eligible player. Meanwhile, Volstad projected to earn $3MM as a second time eligible player. |

we saved roughly half a million by going with Hayes as our backup catcher instead of Brayan Pena

Greg Schaum doesn't think Hoch will be on the opening day roster. Thinks we could actually go to winter meetings trying to get something for him.

I'd like to not trade Hosmer but would rather keep Myers.
