Royals Royals worth $700M according to Forbes

They haven't let someone walk because of money since Beltran, and that was 12 years ago now. How long do you hang onto that? People go a little nuts over the payroll number. You're better off spending 80M intelligently over spending 120M poorly.

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.
