First baseman Eric Hosmer got his big payday.
After 10 years either with the Royals or one of their minor-league affiliates, Hosmer became a free agent last November and got a huge contract from the San Diego Padres. But that eight-year, $144 million deal wasn't reached until spring training had started as Major League Baseball's offseason was in a deep freeze.
One of the players still looking for a team is the Royals' single-season home-run record holder, Mike Moustakas.
On Monday, Hosmer spoke to USA Today's Bob Nightengale about some of the big-name free agents on the market, such as Moustakas, Carlos Gomez, Greg Holland, Lance Lynn and Jake Arrieta.
