On Friday, soon to be 31-year-old Kansas City Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain told MLB.com writer Jeffrey Flanagan he wants to remain in KC rather than departing in free-agency next winter:
“You can’t help but think about that,” Cain said. “You try not to, but it’s there. You know, if it were up to me, I’d be here long-term.”
Don’t get me wrong. I love what Lorenzo Cain brings to the Royals. At his peak, Cain reminds me of recently-retired five-time All-Star Torii Hunter.
