The KC Royals need to get busy and forge a new deal with Salvador Perez, their star catcher who’s entering the final season of his contract.
Imagine, if you will, the KC Royals without Salvador Perez. Not a few years from now, but soon, no later than the end of the 2021 season when his current contract expires or (gasp!) even sooner if the club decides to move him at next summer’s trade deadline.
A departure under either scenario would be a premature and unnecessary conclusion to the Kansas City career of the franchise’s best-ever catcher.
