Zobrist is somewhat similar in that his decline can't be too far off. I don't think the Royals get close to or should get close to 100 mil for Gordon. He's been a great Royal, but if thats the case, take the pick and look elsewhere. Tough offseason |

Looking ahead some questions loom.
The Royals should extend Holland now with a Medlen-style deal with team or mutual options on the end. The Royals should be talking with Moose and Hosmer in anticipation of the new TV deal lining up with their 2018 Free Agency. The Royals should look at extending Zobrist and Gordon on acceptable terms. The Royals should look at trading Infante as a salary dump. The Royals can add years to Sal's deal and make him a Royal for life. The thing is, he will be 29 at the end of his current deal and you must consider the physical toll of the catcher position and price accordingly. |

If the Royals do extend Gordon and Zobrist, how do they address right field and the open rotation spot? What about rotation depth?

I'd take my pick of Gordon OR Zobrist and take the other money and go get another starter. Or atleast entertain that option. |

In right field, unless Starling continues to light the world on fire, we have a pretty bare cupboard in the OF. Going back to Infante at second is simply unacceptable to me. Colon proved adequate as a utility type, but not in a starting capacity. We do have RA Mondesi coming up, but he realistically needs to start 2016 at AA. |

If Alex Gordon's injury this year taught him anything, it will be the value of guaranteed money. If he had been unable to return, it would have cost him millions just due to the timing.
He will not be focused on the rate as much as he will the total dollars, which is why he will not exercise the option. 12-14/year maybe totally acceptable to him, provided he is guaranteed like 70 million or whatever. |

No one is going to pay even half his salary.

Is Hosmer really worth a big money deal?
I know he's developing his clutch hitting but most of the time he's more about defense than hitting. *ducks and runs from the Royal's homers*
