Soler can opt out when he becomes arb eligible.

He can opt out of the guaranteed deal to choose salary arbitration, per the original deal as reported by Ken Rosenthal. Doesn’t mean he can opt into FA. Just out of the guaranteed salary if he thinks he will earn more in arb.

That's not entirely accurate.
He didn't have the Cespedes provision put in his contract that says he cannot be offered arb. He had the reverse done; he can opt out of his guaranteed contract and thus opt in to arbitration. He can't force FA any sooner. Technically Cespedes didn't either - he just included language in his deal that said his team at the time could not offer him arb, thus making him effectively a non-tender. Soler doesn't have that provision. He'd still be under Royal control until he gets his 6 years of MLB service time, he just gets his money through arbitration rather than the terms of his long-term deal.

Is anyone paying attention if the Orioles are doing stuff like bunting in the first inning, or making a lot of unforced errors? I mean they have to be actively trying to tank right?

Things can turn around quickly. We play in a garbage division which really helps , that's one. I'm looking FW to the three 1st roun pitchers we took. What if we made some great picks? A good rotation, that's cheap, puts you back in the game awfully quickly |

Manaea’s injury tendencies were the big factor in the Royals being OK with moving on from him while holding others.
Not sure he’ll ever be a durable MLB starter, but he’s damn good when available.

Speaking of former Royals pitchers I looked up Miguel Almonte the other day and he has a legit 9 ERA in AAA. Yikes. That guy had unbelievable stuff but he's never figured it out.

Junis pitched a nice CG tonight with zero walks and two runs against the Tigers.

Royals fans are so weird when it comes to attributing certain players to us winning the World Series. “If we didn’t have this one career bum who drew a walk in the 7th inning of the wildcard game, we wouldn’t have taken home the gold! As if not having mega bust Christian Colon on the roster would have meant we wouldn’t have a ring.
