You're either an idiot who doesn't follow the Royals, or challenged. I'm leaning towards challenged because Davis is no longer even in the rotation, and we have the #23 overall prospect taking his place

Thank You Dave Dombrowski 10 years 300 million for Cabrera when he is already 30 years old. You just gave the Royals a 10 year window for the AL central.

Not really, he will tear you up for 7-8 years. He won't be done until the end of that contract, he's the best hitter in baseball. The money was a bit much though.

This pretty much eliminates any possibility of resigning Max Scherzer already wanting more than 144 million. The Tigers couldn't afford to keep Fielder, and Cabrera together . I don't see how they could possibly keep Verlander's 180 million, Cabrera's 200 million, and pay Scherzer 160 million.

Royals Return Rule 5 Pick Schuster To Diamondbacks
By Jeff Todd [March 27 at 7:37pm CST]
The Royals have returned Rule 5 pick Patrick Schuster to the Diamondbacks, according to the MLB transactions page. It appears that Schuster has passed through waivers this time after being claimed by the Royals just three days ago.
After being selected first overall in this year's Rule 5 draft by the Astros, Schuster was shipped to the Padres before being picked up by the Royals. But with a stacked Kansas City pen, the 23-year-old never appered to have much of a chance of making the roster, let alone sticking on it for the full season.
Instead, according to a report from Andy McCullough of the Kansas City Star, the move was designed to create a reason for designating out-of-options outfielder Carlos Peguero for assignment. That, in turn, started a ten-day waiting period for Peguero. The Royals apparently hope that other clubs' 40-man spots will be occupied by the time the clock runs, making it more likely that they will be able to slip him through waivers to the minors.
What a stupid claim! Bueno made the Royals

Royals lock up Salvador Perez to long term deal
Five years seven million in the first five seasons
The contract includes three team options which were presumably essential for the Royals. They can retain him for $3.75MM in 2017 and lock up two free agent years for a total of $11MM in 2018-19. In other words, the Royals will have the chance to lock Perez’s prime age 27-29 seasons up at a well-below-market rate.
He obtained significant security just 39 games into his MLB career, and there's no guarantee he'll establish himself as the long-term solution behind the plate, but $7MM isn’t the kind of commitment that sets a franchise back significantly. Like Perez himself, this deal offers a whole lot of upside.
Royals lock up SS Escobar long to long term deal
Escobar signed a four-year deal with Kansas City worth $10.5 million, with two club options that could drive the value to $21.75 million -- still well below market value for one of baseball's best shortstops, which is precisely what Yost believes Escobar can be.
"He's a Gold Glove-caliber shortstop," Yost said. "I personally think he's the best shortstop in the American League, if not in all of baseball.
"We've talked on many occasions how I think he's going to continue to grow offensively. He's just scratching the surface of what he's going to be able to accomplish offensively, and I love his energy. I love his personality and I love the way he loves to play the game. It's infectious."
Escobar will make $1 million this season and $3 million each of the next three seasons. The options are for $5.25 million in 2016 and $6.5 million in 2017 with $500,000 buyouts each year.
Royals lock up Alex Gordon to long term deal
Gordon and the Royals have agreed to a four-year pact worth $37.5 million. Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star tweets that the deal breaks down thus: $6 million in 2012, $9 million for 2013, $10 million for 2014, and $12.5 million for 2015. The first year of the new contract replaces the one-year, $4.775-million deal he signed in February.
Royals lock up Billy Butler to long term deal
Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star has the financial details of the deal (Twitter link). Butler will earn $3MM in 2011, and $8MM per year from 2012 to 2014. The contract also includes a $2MM signing bonus and a $12.5MM club option for 2015, with a $1MM buyout.
Yep were letting our young players walk

Butler and Gordon aren't that good.
Posted on 3/27/14 at 10:46 pm to TigerBornTigerBred
Gordon two time all-star, hit 20 HR's or more in back to back seasons, led MLB in assists for outfielders, yep not good.
Butler hit .300 as recently as 2012 with 30 HR's and over a 100RBI's, led MLB in doubles that season, had a poor season last season but still managed to hit 15HR's hit .289 which is still above average and drove in 82 in a bad season. Butler will hit 30 HR's again this season.
