I'm racking my brain trying to figure out the non-financial compensation number for A1 to stay. I'm guessing $1 million per year because he is a good guy and wants to be a Royals for life and maybe the same in endorsements over the course of his life. That puts the Royals in the 4/72 million or 5/90 ballpark. Could be close enough. I think the Cubs go 5/105 and close the deal. They want to win. Badly.
