I hadnt definitively heard the reason, I think I read somewhere that people close to Weiters said the Royals didnt pass because of money, but not sure how reliable that is.
But elsewhere in the draft, I might be wrong, but I think I read that we actually broke the all-time record for most money given to a 4th-round player, and we also handed out the 2nd-highest signing bonus ever given to a 3rd round player.
