Definitely get this done if you can.

Definitely some red flags, but I honestly don't know if he'd be worth the money or not, and I'm not being sarcastic.
What I do know is that another name for the Royals being mentioned is Kazmir. I have zero interest in the club signing him.
It should be apparent by now that whatever his numbers are are front-loaded because his arm poops out after the break. It has the last 2 seasons, so what would lead anyone to believe that it would be different as he's only getting older.
So, what you are getting is another Young. Somebody with a hard ceiling of effective number of innings.
Besides Geraldo, I don't know whose available and within the Royals realistic salary parameters?
