Looks like the Royals went with Franco because he still has arbitration years.

The problem is if you are doing that because Dozier is a bad 3rd baseman which he is...his defensive metrics had him at -10 in 100 games. Why are you replacing him with another below average 3rd baseman?

Personally I question if Dozier is kind of smoke and mirrors and would be open to moving him.
