They’re not unjustified in not having faith. The entire outfield can act as an albatross. The Royals front office sees what everyone sees: a prayer that someone can be semi-productive.

I think I'm glad Santander didn't agree to that deal. I am definitely happy Profar didn't.

Yeah, that was a "bullet dodged" double dip in my eyes as well.

My thought is that you figure out how to DH Santander or Profar at the end of their deals when you get there. You don't know how everything will change between now and then. I remember people worrying about how they were going to fit Bobby Witt Jr and Adalberto Mondesi in the same lineup. It turned out to be needless.

That said, I don't really think the Royals are done. Everyone was telling us they were done - Picollo with his 75% comment, Anne Rogers reporting and interviewed on our podcast said they might be done, and clearly they were still out there talking some pretty big contracts.

They NEED an outfielder, and I think they'll get one, somehow some way.
