If you have been paying attention on Twitter, the Royals are extremely active in the pitching market and potential trades. Not in the big names of course, but alot of them. It's something you don't see from them normally. Lots of smoke out there and it's from the big name national guys.

Ohtani to the Dodgers….the most boring and predictable outcome of his FA comes to fruition.

Soto to the Yanks as all the other day…

Yay baseball….

Royals should’ve offered 10 years and $701 million

What the hell would he have gotten if he hadnt blown out his arm last year?

Royals offered 10 years $699 million.

I mean shit, the Royals are only worth like 1.15 billion

Baseball economics need fixed so badly. Shohei's contract AAV is more than the whole 40 man payroll for like 4 orgs last year. Seems like an equitable system.

This is going to be the worst contract in baseball in 3 years.

"Japan's new team"

I doubt this has much to do with trying to win.

especially if he cant stay healthy on the pitching side

Hell, I could see him falling off a cliff in just a few years with the bat.

The Royals traded Will Smith to the Brewers in 2014 to get Nori Aoki.

Not a bad bullpen guy. I like it.

pretty sure aoki got hot in august and really helped the Royals get playoff ready.
plus he got hit in the nuts on a pop up!! ;)

Will Smith has won the last three World Series, which means Royals 2024 championship!!!
