Can't really look at it that way. The Royals had him under their control for 2 years.
It's $12 million for the next 2 seasons, his arb seasons. That's about market value.
It's another $26 millon for his first 2 FA seasons. Below market if he pitches to his potential, right at market if he pitches like last season.
It's a good deal, one that had to be made. However, as Angel proved, they're not worth anything until they earn it.
