One of their greatest players just received the biggest KC Royals deal ever.
The KC Royals recently rewarded Hunter Dozier, a versatile young player with one excellent major league season, with a four-year contract reportedly worth at least $25 million. The deal came amid the continuing, seemingly endless, chatter and conjecture about possible early extensions for Adalberto Mondesi and Brad Keller, and maybe more.
Little, however, has been heard about making sure Salvador Perez, the leader and undisputed backbone of the team, its heart and soul, and the best catcher in franchise history, doesn’t go anywhere when his current contract expires after this season.
