Two days ago, Eric Hosmer spoke with MLB.com’s Jeffrey Flanagan and made it clear that he would be open to a long-term deal with the Royals that would keep him in Kansas City past 2017. My initial reaction to that is wondering what he’s supposed to say with two more years left under team control. I just can’t imagine a quote along the lines of, “Well, you know, I’ve got two years left here and then I’m getting out as fast as humanly possible.” That’s not to say that Hosmer does want out, but more to say that the comments should be taken with a grain of salt.
