Saw someone ask this question. Thoughts? Is the deal official? They've tweeted out about other Royals that signed elsewhere.
Does anyone else find it odd that the Royals haven’t tweeted “Thank you, Hoz” or good luck? |

Yost and GMDM have offered nothing but praise to Hos since the signing, but you know on a deeper level they have to be a bit surprised about he and Moose's attitudes this offseason. |

Instead the Royals lost Hosmer to the Padres, and Cain to the Brewers. It's not like either of those teams are big spenders. They both still have lower payrolls than the Royals... and by a decent margin too. We didn't get outbid by the big boys here. We got outbid by teams with less money and more payroll flexibility. Teams are way, way more economically savvy than they used to be. |

What’s gonna make this year suck isn’t the fact that we may lose 100 games. It sucks that even the few rootable players we will have like Duffy and Merrifield aren’t completely safe to stick around the entire year.
I guess we can at least guarantee that Gordon and Escobar ain’t going anywhere at the deadline. |

I guess I am surprised that anyone is mad at Hosmer for taking the money and living in San Diego...

Wouldn't have surprised me with Neds comments earlier though. Makes me wonder if what he said reflects more on Boras than Hosmer. Still, Hoz should've checked how his old skipper was doing.
