I'm seeing very different numbers when I click the link to Cot's contracts. It shows the Royals as being the third biggest spender in the AL central at $117.4M
Awesome deal and great for both sides. But it’s really 7 years for about 150 million. After that, if Witt is healthy and playing well, he will leave or get a new mammoth contract. So the Royals have a 7 year window (maybe a little less, depending on how the no-trade clause works). They will need more young talent to accompany Witt. Let’s make it happen, Royals!
I just Venmoed 77 cents to John Sherman so Bobby's signing bonus will be $7,777,777.77. When the Royals win the Central this year from that extra boost of luck, you can thank me!

Oh, I see. I was looking at the Year-end
Yeah. Someone mentioned the CBT number and I thought I’d roll with that.

A lot can (and should) change in seven years. But you’re right…There will be a renegotiation at some point if both sides are interested.
Great news and great article - you jerked a tear from me at the end there CB! Like the Royals - thank you for the good work!
Thank you, Coach!
It's a great day to be a Royals fan. The first one, I'd argue, since we drafted BWJ.
I think you're probably right.

Every little bit helps! But I'd like it better if Sherman Venmoed me. The newsletter could use a benefactor with deep pockets.
