Lol. Wishful thinking.
Alex just got an average of 18 mil. over 4 seasons. (In what was considered to be a 'bargain') Alex is over 30 years old. He is not near the offensive player Hoz is.
Hoz will be 27 when he hits FA after 2017 season. He is a Gold Glover, an All-Star (this year) who is finally realizing his immense offensive potential, a World Champ who has shown the ability to be clutch in the post season and exhibits great leadership qualities.
Oh, and Scott Boras is his agent.
Hoz will get a MINIMUM $25 mil a year and probably end up somewhere in the $25-$30 mil a year range. The Yankees (more than likely) or some other big market team will open the bank for him.
Enjoy these last two years of Hoz. It will be his final ones in a Royals uniform.

That's how I see it. I was just reading a little while about Mark Texeira's injuries. I'll be shocked if Hosmer doesn't wind up wearing Yankee pinstripes.
If that happens, I probably won't cheer for him when he shows up in town as a Yankee, but I won't be rooting against him. If I were Eric Hosmer and the Yankees threw around $300 million at me, I'd take it.
