If he hasn't signed a few days or so after pitchers and catchers report, then I think our odds will be at least 1 in 10 or 1 in 5 at that point. I agree its 1 in 100 right now, which means I am fully expecting him to sign somewhere this next week
If he doesn't, then it could mean that he has quietly reached a verbal agreement with the Royals to sign for 1 year, but not until after the regular season has started. The only way to make sure you don't get a QO is to wait till after opening day to sign on for the year.
