Assuming the Royals did get Beltran for 3/$48, should the contract be spread out evenly, back loaded, or front loaded?

He didn't say much that isn't already known. An interesting bit he talked about was that 3 yrs/48 mil is a number where other teams don't want to go. So no other teams are going to offer much more than that.. If that.

It also speaks to the Yankees wanting to keep Cano more than they want to pick up Beltran which will keep Cano off of the Tigers if they are eyeing him at all.

I'd try to middle-load it, big year in 2015, coinciding with Shields likely leaving, and right before some of our younger players are getting expensive.

That contract could hurt us in 2016, but screw it, we're going for it now.

Much more excited about this signing if it is NOT tied to trading Billy Butler.
Royals need to ADD a middle of the order bat. All this would do is swap one for the other. A slight upgrade but not a major one.

Royals fans here seem pumped, but my friend in STL says 3/48 would make KC the dumbest franchise in history. I dont know what to think....

Agreed. I know it will probably hurt the Royals in 2016, but I could give a **** about it, the 2014 season is the Royals best chance to make it to the post-season since 1985.....

They're replaying the Olney interview sometime during the 5 oclock hour on 610 for those who missed it.

STL says that about anyone that leaves STL. They are some of the dumbest fans ever.
