It's the end of the world as we know it... and we feel... fine?

2018 is a season of transition for the Royals, or at least it is at this point. Dayton Moore is back. Will he swing full into THE PROCESS 2.0? Or will he try to load up again and make some reload magic happen?

Pending Free Agents:
1B | Eric Hosmer | San Diego Padres, 8 years, $144 million ($5 million signing bonus; $20 million/year in Yrs 1-5; $13 million/year in Yrs 6-8 wth player opt out)
Spoiler!

3B | Mike Moustaskas | Kansas City Royas, 1, $6.5 million
Spoiler!

CF | Lorenzo Cain | Milwaukee Brewers, 5 years, $80 million

RP | Mike Minor | Texas Rangers, 3, $28 million

That's a bit harsh. They signed Perez, Gordon, Duffy and Ventura. They were never going to sign them all. I never thought I'd see the day where the Royals put a $150 million payroll out there. They spent a lot of money to give these guys a chance.

That said, I'd have to imagine a new ballpark will be a tough sell either way. Kauffman is pretty well regarded as one of the most beautiful ballparks in baseball.

This FA market is the most stagnant I think I remember ever seeing. We should be able to sign at least a couple of these guys to at least reasonable deals, if not team friendly.

It's tricky. I've always been for signing Hosmer, but there's no argument that will reduce payroll flexibility down the road. I don't think Hos will be signing any kind of team friendly deal.

I think Cain has been probably the most important player, but you can't be overspending for a guy in his mid 30s. Moose has the swing that should age well but he's had a lot of leg problems and I don't think his quickness at third was even as good as the World Series years. The good news is power just isn't as expensive as it used to be. Look at Trumbo last year and JD Martinez this year.

I'd say they enjoy winning. It's satisfying when a group comes up together and wins, but if they don't, there's not much fun in that.

They old trade for someone elses mediocre QB and be steady or to draft and develop a franchise QB and be great argument.

Well that's obvious. But it's definitely different in baseball because there is such a large minor league system and fans follow it more closely than other leagues. In football and basketball you can watch the NCAA but you don't know which players will end up on your favorite team. In baseball we know who guys like Mondesi are and they are tied to KC.

The influence of advanced statistics and analytics has really changed this too. 15 years ago a lot of fans would have just wanted the Royals to spend money, period. Today there is a fairly large section of diehard fans who would prefer this team not sign any of their free agents, save money, and start working towards getting high draft picks to rebuild. No way that happens 15 years ago.
