Lynch wasn’t a pure money pick. He wasn’t an overslot guy, but several places had him as a comp round guy.
Re: Merrifield and Soler, neither one has to be move for a deal that isn’t prime. They can hold out a little on both and make sure they get great value.
Soler is arb eligible in 2020 at best (for him), which means they still control him through 2022 or 2023. The deal he signed with the Cubs expires in 2020, but that doesn’t negate the years of team control or service rules.
They should trade them if they get the right type of return. If they don’t, hold them a while longer and wait for the right situation to pop up in front of you.
Also: the Royals just signed another international FA, Dutch kid named Darryl Collins and playing in Curaçao.
They also announced the signing of a South Korean teenager who was clocked / supposedly - at 95 mph.
They’ve made some outside-the-box moves in IFA. Like seeing the flexibility of thought!
