@Ken_Rosenthal: Some agents believe that Kazmir will aim higher than Iwakuma’s three-year, $45M deal. Younger than Iwakuma, no draft pick attached.


I think that 3/$45 million would get Kazmir.

Cardinals are our main competitor for Gordon.

It won't be about the ratings, it'll be about what they're willing to pay for the MLB platform moving forward.

Women are crazy for the Royals. It's insane.

For ESPN? Sure. For a local sports network? They only care about what the Royals bring in for local ratings, and the ad revenue they can make off it.

So non Royals news... but after all the talk about the Dodgers trading for Chapman to create a super bullpen, the trade may be off. A domestic disturbance from October has popped up.

I'll root for Gordon until he retires, unless he is playing for the cardinals.

Right... this is going to affect the landscape... we're talking huge TV Contracts that have been getting insane... this is the bubble that may burst that trend BEFORE the Royals can cash in on one of the lucrative deals... So the landscape of TV Deals possibly changing can and will have a drastically greater impact on the amount than what the Local ratings will do. Understand now?

I agree, it's certainly possible. But if the Royals are still pulling the highest local TV ratings in the league, they're still going to do okay. It will certainly be much more than they're making now.

Also, I just saw a commercial for this on MLB Network. They're airing a documentary about the Royals this Thursday night at 8 PM eastern, 7 central. There's a video at the link.

"Royal in Kansas City, 30 Years Later" is the title of the program and it will feature interviews with Royals past, including Hall of Famer George Brett and teammates Danny Jackson, Darryl Motley, Bret Saberhagen, Frank White and Willie Wilson as they reminisce about bringing Kansas City's first World Series title home in 1985. The group will also discuss watching the 2015 team repeating their success and the joy they experienced watching another Royal celebration.

Yep, it's just frustration regarding the current deal... and the possibility of missing out on this lucrative window for our organization spilling over.
