The latest KC Royals rumors suggest the team has busted their international cap with two big signings, according to MLB.com’s Jesse Sanchez. The Kansas City Royals are believed to have agreed to deals with 9th ranked international prospect Seuly Matias ($2.9 million bonus) and 29th ranked infielder Jeison Guzman ($1.5 million bonus).
If this report is accurate, the KC Royals will have smashed their $2.0 million bonus cap for international signings. Since they have exceeded their limit by more than 15 percent, the Royals will be restricted from signing any international player to more than a $300,000 signing bonus for the next two seasons.
