Only money, really.
He has one of the most onerous contracts in baseball over the next 3 years; $25 million/season w/ either a $27.5 million option in year 4 or a $12.5 million buyout. So essentially either 3 years and $87 million or 4 years and $102.5 million.
The Phils would likely trade him for a B prospect if the Royals took the whole contract. That said, the contract is absolutely nuts.
