I dont follow the club, but I do remember there being others. One guy went to the A's and a Pitcher was signed by the Braves, I think, and got subsequently hurt.
At that time, they did not resign any of their 'big name' FA's and brought up a bunch of young people. They're still doing it and as they develop, the player signs with another club for a 10M+ annual salary that KC cannot afford.
It's truly a shame, IMO, I like the Royals back in the day, but today they're just not competitive in the Majors.
