I'm not sure what made you come to that decision other than the fact that you bitch about everything they do. The Royals are being smart and aren't gonna over pay. I think it's pretty clear some of these FA's are asking for more than they are worth. They're not done yet and will add at least one more positional starter.

Eh some guys did, Teoscar Hernandez literally got exactly what was predicted though.

I wonder if Alex Bregman regrets turning down $156 million on six years from the Astros. It's similar to the deal that Matt Chapman got with the Giants and Bregman has every right to feel he's worth more than Chapman.

But still, no state income tax in Texas. Why wait it out for a $175 million deal from the Red Sox that's probably not there to begin with?

It's looking like he's going to have to settle for a short-term deal with high AAV and opt outs because there isn't enough of a market for him.

Also, the CBA is eliminating potential suitors for Bregman. The Yankees would likely sign him but they've already made it clear they don't want to incur further draft pick penalties for signing a second free agent with a qualifying offer attached after inking Max Fried.
