Kansas City Royals Should Have Signed Yasmany Tomas

The Kansas City Royals should have signed Cuban outfielder Yasmany Tomas last winter.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda is always easy after you have seen how the prospect looks in the major leagues. While the 6-year, $68 million deal that the Arizona Diamondbacks used to lure the 24-year-old Yasmany Tomas to the desert carried a fair amount of risk, it looks like a bargain now that he’s hitting.
