I don't think they're going to re-sign Hosmer though. I think he's just going to cost too much. Even at 700M, they're the 3rd least valuable team in MLB. Half the teams are worth a billion dollars now. That's amazing. And that doesn't even get into the Royals' disaster of a TV contract. Yeah the team's worth more, but that list doesn't make them look rich compared to the rest of the league.

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to financial stuff beyond payroll, but would that 3rd-worst value have more to do with the team's failures over the last 20 years (last year notwithstanding) or just KC being a smaller market?
